Soups
Chinese Yam, Lotus Seed and Chestnut Pork Shin Soup
Traditionally supports the spleen and kidneys and gently rebuilds qi and essence
Why people make this soup
Some people, after overwork or a poor recovery from illness, feel run-down, low on energy and short on appetite. The tricky part is that many of them “can’t take a tonic” — one bowl of something strong and they get a dry mouth, mouth ulcers or a sore throat. Nourilo’s answer is gentle tonifying: mild, even-natured foods like Chinese yam, lotus seed and chestnut that rebuild quietly without overheating. This soup is sweet and easy to drink, and traditionally supports the spleen and kidneys.
