Why people make this soup

When the air turns dry, Nourilo reaches for cabbage soup — long-simmered for a good three hours, it is both soothing and safe for a body carrying a bit of heat in the lungs and stomach. Add some apricot kernels and the moistening, cough-easing effect is even better. Dried cabbage paired with carrot, apricot kernels, figs and dried duck gizzard makes a soup that traditionally moistens dryness and helps settle a dry, tickly cough.

Ingredient notes for this recipe

  • Apricot kernels: Raw apricot kernels contain amygdalin, which turns into cyanide after eating. EFSA estimates that half of one small raw kernel can exceed the safe level for a toddler. Use no more than the recipe states, never eat them raw, and do not serve them to young children. Source: European Food Safety Authority

Stop eating it and seek advice if you notice an allergic reaction or feel unwell. Safety notes reviewed 8 October 2026 · How we write safety notes
