Why people make this soup

When the weather shifts, a lot of people find that the cough after a cold lingers on and on. As the saying goes, a long cough strains the lungs: lung yin becomes depleted, an empty heat smoulders inside, and you get a scant sticky phlegm, a hoarse voice, a dry mouth and throat, and dry stools. Nourilo shares this gentle soup to help ease that kind of dry, drawn-out cough.
