Thanks a lot Lisa, I was just thinking make it simply like to make sweet potato or mug bean soup, and just throw 1 or 2 dates in. I’m still new in making Chinese soup, very nice to have found your site by the way.
I personally don’t like meat so savory soups normally don’t attract me. Can you suggest some?, any, sweet, hot ect will be fine for me.

Pat, actually large dried dates aren’t often used in sweet-soups. Smaller dates and red dates are more common in sweet soups. And yes, some ingredients are not recommeded together as they don’t compliment each other. Could you provide a list of what you want to throw together and I find out for your whether they match?

I have this kind of date in hand. I’d like to use them as sugar substitute. Can I put them into any sweet soup-type dish? One of my friends from HK told me that some ingredents can’t be put together as they may release some negative effects to your body.
