The season of spring comes after a severe winter, when the temperature is still relatively low and the weather is changeable, fluctuating between cold and warm spells. During this time, children are prone to contracting respiratory infections such as colds, coughs, pneumonia, measles, and chickenpox.
In spring, the climate is mild, the sunshine is bright, and all living things grow vigorously. Children in this season also brim with vitality, with their bodily organs functioning more actively and their activity levels increasing. It is important during this season to provide children with adequate nutrition. If food can be selected based on its flavor and function, and some nourishing soups that gently tonify the spleen and lungs and promote strength can be prepared as part of the spring diet, the benefits will be excellent —
1. Lotus Seed and Lily Bulb Soup: This soup can strengthen the spleen and stomach, moisten the lungs, and calm the mind. It is suitable for children's regular consumption. Use 15 grams of lotus seeds, 15 grams of dried lily bulbs, 1 egg, and an appropriate amount of sugar. Remove the bitter core from the lotus seeds, place them along with the lily bulbs in a casserole pot, and add an appropriate amount of water. Simmer until the lotus seeds are tender, then add the egg and sugar. After the egg is cooked, it can be consumed.
