'''''Hong dou tang''''' (紅豆湯), '''''hong dou sha''''' (紅豆沙), or '''red bean soup''' is a sweet Chinese dessert soup made from [[azuki beans]].<ref>{{cite book | last=Law | first=K. | last2=Meng | first2=L.C. | last3=Tettoni | first3=L.I. | title=Authentic Recipes from China | publisher=Tuttle Publishing | series=Authentic Recipes Series | year=2012 | isbn=978-1-4629-0534-8 | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ZA3RAgAAQBAJ&pg=PT188 | access-date=December 8, 2018 | page=pt188}}</ref> It is served in [[mainland China]], [[Taiwan]], Hong Kong, Macau, and places with Chinese diaspora. It is categorized as a ''[[tong sui]]'', or sweet soup. It is often served cold during the summer, and hot in the winter. Leftover red bean soup can also be frozen to make [[ice pop]]s and is a popular dessert.

== Ingredients ==
In [[Cantonese cuisine]], a red bean soup made from rock sugar, [[chenpi|sun-dried tangerine peels]], and [[lotus seeds]] is commonly served as a dessert at the end of a restaurant or banquet meal. Common variations include the addition of ingredients such as [[sago]] (西米 ''xīmi''), tapioca, coconut milk, ice cream, [[Tangyuan (food)|glutinous rice balls]], or [[purple rice]]. The two types of sugar used interchangeably are [[Rock candy|rock sugar]] and [[Peen tong|sliced sugar]] ({{lang|zh|片糖}}).<ref name=christinesrecipes-1>{{cite web|title=Red Bean and Black Glutinous Rice Dessert|url=http://en.christinesrecipes.com/2010/10/red-bean-and-black-glutinous-rice.html|website=en.christinesrecipes.com|access-date=4 August 2014}}</ref>
