Chayote, Lily Bulb, Water Chestnut and Pork Rib Soup

Why people make this soup

Nourilo loves cooking with chayote, especially in early autumn when the weather is still muggy and damp. Chayote soup is traditionally used to dispel wind, ease heat, promote urination and drain dampness, while also being kind to the spleen and stomach. Chayote happens to be one of the most nutritionally well-rounded gourds, rich in selenium, which is associated with supporting immune function and healthy blood pressure and lipids. This “Chayote, Lily Bulb and Water Chestnut Pork Rib Soup” is traditionally enjoyed to clear heat, ease the heart’s fire and moisten lung dryness.
