Baby Corn, Chayote and Fresh Fish Soup

Why people make this soup

Baby corn — the tender corn ears also called “pearl bamboo shoots” (zhen zhu sun) — is traditionally valued as a diuretic and is associated with supporting people who have chronic kidney concerns. Nourilo pairs it with chayote and a fresh fish to make a clearing, gently diuretic soup the whole family can share. It is mild and savory rather than medicinal-tasting.
