Why people make this soup

Among the soup-friendly gourds commonly found at the market — hairy gourd, winter melon, luffa, old cucumber and chayote — Nourilo particularly likes using chayote. It provides a broad range of vitamins and minerals and is associated with supporting healthy blood pressure and digestion. Its antioxidant properties are also valued for helping protect against free-radical damage and supporting the body’s response to inflammation.

Today Nourilo pairs chayote with Chinese sweet and bitter almonds, carrot and a few other simple ingredients for an everyday homemade soup, traditionally enjoyed to support immunity, antioxidant defences and overall wellness.
