Adenophora, Solomon's Seal, Apple & Pear Lean Pork Soup

Why people make this soup

Sometimes the body feels like it just needs moisture — a dry, scratchy throat, thirst that water does not quite quench, or a lingering sense of inner heat after illness. In Cantonese food therapy, this kind of dryness is classically addressed with yin-nourishing ingredients. Fresh Solomon’s seal (yu zhu), when in season, is gently fragrant and plump, and pairs naturally with throat-soothing adenophora root, two kinds of sweet seasonal fruit, and lean pork. The result is a delicately sweet, clean-tasting soup that is particularly welcome during the dry autumn months.
