The invention provides a method for preparing edible grade transparent concentrated soybean phospholipid; the Gartner color of the phospholipid obtained by the method is less than 8, the transparency is high, the peroxide value is less than 10 meq/kg, the amount of a residual solvent is less than 50 mg/kg, and indicators meet the requirements of food phospholipid. Soybean crude oil is directly used as raw material, an organic solvent is not required to be added in the preparation process, no residual risk of the organic solvent exists, and at the same time, the potential safety hazard in the production process is reduced. In addition, the method solves the problems of deep color and poor transparency of concentrated soybean phospholipid in China and can realize industrialized production.
