Five-Finger Peach, Niu Da Li, Chestnut and Scarlet Runner Bean Soup

Why people make this soup

When the weather swings between cold and warm and turns damp and foggy, a lot of people feel heavy and drowsy, with a stuffy chest, bloating and achy limbs. In food-therapy terms this is the body’s yang energy not flowing freely while dampness builds up. This soup is Nourilo’s answer: it strengthens the spleen, helps clear dampness and relaxes the sinews.
