Tong Sui/Sweet Soup is most common in Cantonese cooking. Tong Sui is either a warm soup or custard, and it is served at the end of the meal for dessert. There are many varieties of different dessert soups.
Henry's mother, who is from Guangzhou often cooks this soup, and many other kinds which are all delicious. Nothing tastes better than homemade food, so being able to have a bowl of warm, homemade tong sui on a cold day made me happy. Henry's mother is so nice! She made some soup and she and Henry came to my house and gave me a quart of it! I had to share half the quart with Arisa because I knew she would enjoy it as well.
This soup was 紅豆湯 (Red Bean Soup).
The ingredients were red beans, taro root, tapioca pearls, and rock sugar, which is where the sweet flavor comes from. Although it is sweet it is not overwhelming. You can taste the red bean and taro root, and since red bean and taro have their own sweetness there is no need for that much rock sugar. Tapioca doesn't have a taste in my opinion, but it just add a some texture the soup.
The dark lavender soup mixed with the red color from the beans and clear tapioca looks interesting. The texture of the soup is watery but also creamy. The azuki beans and taro root gave are mushy so there was nothing to chew, but he tapioca pearls are chewy :3
I think this soup taste good hot or cold.
