Chinese Red Bean Soup Recipe
Chinese red bean soup is a perfect sweet dessert soup that can be served hot in the cold winter and fall seasons but also cold in the summer. Azuki beans are a "yang" or "warming" food (opposite of it's counterpart "yin" or cooling).
They are always found at special celebrations like the Chinese New Year, weddings, birthdays etc. because the very lively color red brings forth luck and happiness. Tangerine peel promotes healthy digestion, something we all need when eating beans.
