Red Bean and Glutinous Rice Sweet Soup
When the weather cools, I start craving for sweet soup like this red bean and glutinous rice. The long simmer makes this soup silky and luscious, if I can even describe a soup as that. And the tangerine peel makes the soup smell so fragrant. The coconut milk is optional, some people like their sweet soup a bit creamy, some not. My preference is to add a big tablespoonful of coconut milk into my bowl of soup and make a quick stir to mix it all up. ♥
