Chayote, Daylily, Lily Bulb and Silkie Chicken Soup

Why people make this soup

The news can feel relentless — conflict, unrest, protests everywhere — and watching too much of it can leave the mind churning. That’s exactly when I reach for foods traditionally used to calm the heart and settle the spirit. Chayote is mild and sweet and suits most constitutions; daylily is poetically nicknamed “the herb that banishes worry”; lily bulb is traditionally used to calm the mind. Simmered with sweet carrot and silkie chicken, it’s nourishing and soothing.
