Nourilo finds this soup wonderfully versatile: it is mild enough for daily use, requires almost no prep, and the combination of walnuts, south jujube, and goji berries produces a naturally sweet, mellow broth that the whole household tends to enjoy. Traditionally, walnut is said to support brain and kidney function, south jujube to calm the spirit and build blood, and goji to brighten and protect the eyes.
