Sweet Red Bean Soup

Even though this light dessert soup is considered to be a yang or warming food, it's perfect for warm summer days. Sweet Red Bean Soup uses red azuki (adzuki) beans and dried tangerine peel, sold in plastic bags in Chinese/Asian markets. Glutinous rice, also sold in Asian markets, adds texture.
