Chili Leaf, Goji Berry and Lean Pork Soup

Why people make this soup

Chili leaves are only in season for a short window each year, so it is worth making the most of them when they appear. Unlike chili peppers, the leaves carry a mild flavour — no heat at all — and are rich in vitamins B and C. Paired with goji berries (a classic tonic for the eyes and liver) and lean pork, the result is a light, pleasant-tasting soup that traditional food therapy associates with brightening the eyes, warming the stomach, and supporting liver function. It is genuinely tasty enough that the whole family will finish the bowl.
