Why people make this soup
The old saying about preventing trouble before it starts rings especially true when it comes to bones and joints. Nourilo shares this strengthening soup as a gentle, everyday measure: fresh callerya root, which in traditional kitchens is valued for clearing heat, moistening the lungs and easing the sinews; chestnuts, long called “the fruit of the kidney” and associated with supporting the lower back; and figs, which are high in calcium among fruits. Simmered with pig-tail bone, it’s a comforting bowl for those with weak bones or sore, aching backs and knees.
