Why people make this soup

Rotavirus and norovirus — highly contagious viral gastroenteritis infections — are a persistent worry for families with young children, especially in winter. There are no specific antiviral treatments; once infected, all you can do is manage symptoms. The best protection is prevention: good hygiene, thorough handwashing before touching food, and building a robust, resilient constitution. This soup is Nourilo’s recommendation for strengthening the body’s natural defences, for children and adults alike. Mallard duck (water duck) is nourishing but not drying or heating — an ideal base for a tonic soup that the whole family, including young children, can enjoy regularly.
