Flour soup is one of the favorite foods for people in northern China. From the perspective of dietary health, flour soup is more suitable for dinner because this type of noodle is very easy to digest.
Due to the different vegetables and meats added, flour soups have different flavors and functions. Flour soup made with eggs, meat, etc. is especially suitable for mental workers and children, as it can supplement protein; Black fungus flour soup is made by first boiling black fungus for 5 minutes, then adding flour sheets, spinach, and eggs, which has the effect of nourishing yin and clearing heat; Kelp flour soup is made by scooping the cooked flour sheets into a soup made of shredded meat, kelp, tomato, and black fungus. This flour soup has a certain therapeutic effect for postpartum women with constipation, blood deficiency, weakness, dizziness, and fatigue. For people who are weak or have poor digestive function, it is more suitable to eat a light, low-fiber flour soup, mainly with eggs and tomatoes, which is not only colorful and appetizing, but also nutritious and easy to digest and absorb; For people with poor appetite or who often need to drink for social occasions, vegetarian flour soup is more suitable, mainly with green vegetables. The large amount of vitamins, minerals, and fiber in vegetables can change the acidic constitution caused by eating too much animal food, helping to balance the body's immunity.
The specific method of making flour soup is:
1. Mix flour with water to form a dough, roll it into a thin sheet, and cut it into diamond-shaped small pieces for later use; a simpler method is to use ready-made wonton wrappers and cut each one once horizontally and once vertically to make four small pieces.
2. Then wash and clean the vegetables.
3. Pour an appropriate amount of water (or pork rib soup, fish soup, bone broth) into the pot and bring to a boil. Then add the flour sheets. After cooking, add eggs and vegetables.
4. Bring to a boil again, add chopped green onions, and season with a little salt. It is ready to eat.
