Ginkgo, Almond, Dried Cabbage and Pork Lung Soup

Why people make this soup

Ginkgo nuts are one of Nourilo’s favourite cheap-and-cheerful pantry helpers — humble in price but traditionally prized for steadying the lung qi and quieting a cough with phlegm. In dry autumn-into-winter weather he likes to pair them with apricot kernels in a dried-cabbage-and-pork-lung soup. The broth comes out fresh and naturally sweet, a genuinely good seasonal pot.
