Burdock, Green Olive and Radish Lean Pork Soup

Why people make this soup

We have all had that experience of coming home after a meal out — fried chicken, heavy sauces, MSG-laden broths — and noticing that the throat feels thick and slightly sore. Nourilo’s first instinct in that situation is to simmer this soup. The combination of fresh burdock root, green olives, and radish targets exactly that kind of throat discomfort that comes from internal heat and over-indulgence. Green olives have a characteristic astringent, slightly sour taste (and a lingering sweetness after a moment) that cools and soothes; burdock clears heat and moves it outward; radish cuts through heaviness and disperses accumulation in the digestive tract. Together, they make a broth that is genuinely relieving.
