Indian Coconut, Corn and Chestnut Soup

Why people make this soup

A friend of Nourilo’s had spent years burning the midnight oil for work. Despite being in her prime, her complexion had turned sallow, and she had aged noticeably faster than her peers. She was also in that tricky position where she was too depleted to take strong tonics — anything too warming or strengthening triggered internal heat. Nourilo’s answer: a nourishing, plant-based soup that moisturises from within without pushing the body too hard. This combination of Indian coconut, sweet corn, chestnuts, and red dates is light enough to cook frequently as an everyday restorative.
