Chinese Yam, Amomum and Squab Soup

Why people make this soup

The non-stop, eat-when-you-can working life — tense nerves, irregular meals — wears on the stomach, and over time can bring on chronic gastritis, ulcers or reflux. Nourilo’s reminder is simple: if you’ve had upper-abdominal discomfort, low appetite or nausea lately, look after yourself; order your work and rest, and keep your spirits up. This soup traditionally warms and strengthens the spleen and stomach, and is comforting for those with a cold, weak digestion who feel a dull stomach ache, bloating or a watery mouth.
