Sweet Almond, Ginkgo Nut, Lily Bulb & Pork Lung Soup

Why people make this soup

Traditional Chinese dietetics has long followed the principle of “like nourishes like” — using the organ of an animal to gently support the same organ in the human body. Pork lung, properly cleaned and blanched, makes a nutritious soup base that is especially associated with respiratory conditions. For people dealing with chronic bronchitis — whether from long-term smoking, weakened lung qi, or repeated respiratory infections — Nourilo combines it with classic phlegm-resolving, cough-calming ingredients: ginkgo nuts to ease wheezing, sweet apricot kernels to moisten and descend lung qi, lily bulbs to nourish and cool the lungs, and figs for their gentle clearing sweetness. This soup is suitable for the whole family and works particularly well during dry autumn and winter months.
