Astragalus Codonopsis Snakehead Fish Soup

Why people make this soup

In Chinese tradition there’s a saying that “long illness brings depletion” — when an illness drags on, it tends to wear at the spleen and stomach, leaving a person tired and listless, sallow, eating little, thin and weary. The traditional approach is to support recovery by strengthening the spleen and replenishing qi. This Astragalus, Codonopsis and Snakehead Fish Soup is traditionally regarded as supporting qi and the spleen and strengthening the body, making it a well-loved choice for those feeling weak and depleted after illness.
