Let's explore some of the standout sweet soups of Hue with Mytour.
Lotus Seed Sweet Soup
Lotus Seed Sweet Soup - the elegant dessert of Hue
The lotus seeds of Hue are considered the most fragrant and delicious compared to other regions in the country. This is also true for Hue's lotus seed sweet soup. This dish is made from the freshest, most nutritious lotus seeds from Tinh Tam Lake. The soup is typically cooked by steaming the lotus seeds first, then simmering them with either white sugar or clear rock sugar until it gently boils. Though the process sounds simple, achieving the perfect pot of sweet lotus soup requires careful attention to the heat. The stirring must be gentle. If overcooked, the natural fragrance of the lotus seeds will be lost; if undercooked, the seeds will not fully release their signature aroma.
Perhaps because of the simple yet meticulous preparation, the people of Hue also refer to this lotus seed sweet soup as the 'elegant' dessert.
