Carrot, Corn and Pork Bone Soup

Overview

Today I made a simple carrot, corn and pork bone soup. Even though it is summer, this broth with carrots and corn added is not greasy. Instead, because of the sweetness of carrots, corn and red dates, the soup is sweet and delicious, with a delicious aftertaste. Pork bones provide high-quality protein and fat necessary for human physiological activities, and the rich calcium can maintain bone health; carrots are rich in vitamin A and vitamin C, which can enhance the vitality of the liver, kidneys, and gonads; corn is rich in carbohydrates, vitamin A, vitamin B, and vitamin C, which have antipyretic and diuretic effects. In addition, red dates can replenish qi, nourish blood and calm the nerves. This soup strengthens the stomach and clears away heat, nourishes yin and improves eyesight, and relieves troubles and calms the mind, which is very beneficial to the body.
