Fresh Chinese Yam, Dendrobium, Lily Bulb and Mai Dong Pork Shin Soup

Why people make this soup

Yam, lotus seed and lily bulb are staples that many home cooks keep on hand, and the fresh versions — fresh yam, fresh lily bulb and fresh dendrobium — are widely available at Chinese or Asian grocers and online, lovely in both soup and stir-fries. In the autumn and winter, this clear, gently moistening pot is a comforting way to support the body when the air turns dry, helping ease a parched mouth, sluggish digestion and restless nights.
