Why people make this soup

Nourilo loves watercress — in soup, in dumplings, in wontons. In the hot season when watercress is in season, he buys a bunch: the tender tips go into dumplings, the rest into soup. When the weather turns sweltering and the body feels heaty with a dry throat, this soup is a welcome relief. Watercress is traditionally seen as cooling and lung-moistening, and is rich in antioxidants, vitamins and lutein.
