Why people make this soup

Chayote is at its cheap, plentiful best in summer — and it makes a light, sweet soup that won’t sit heavy. Nourilo pairs it with shiitake, bamboo fungus and a little lean pork for a clean, cooling pot that suits hot weather. Traditionally it is associated with clearing summer heat and supporting a slimming diet, and it is a favourite of those watching their weight, blood pressure or blood fats.
