Astragalus, Chinese Yam and Corn Soup

Why people make this soup

Corn is traditionally valued to nourish kidney energy, support the spleen and stomach, clear empty heat and support healthy blood sugar, which makes it a fine food-therapy ingredient for those minding their sugar. People watching their blood sugar often have a weak spleen and stomach — eating little, feeling bloated after meals, short of breath, tired and listless. Simmering corn with Chinese yam and astragalus, taken regularly, is traditionally said to help ease those symptoms.
