Daylily, Chayote, Lily Bulb and Pork Rib Soup

Why people make this soup

Nourilo picked up some hard-to-find Taiwanese daylily flowers at a market — bright in colour and, once cooked, tender and crisp with a lovely fragrance. Daylily has an old folk name, “the forget-your-worries herb,” because it is traditionally associated with a lighter mood and better rest, which makes it a friendly choice for people who feel anxious or low. Paired with fresh lily bulb, chayote, mushrooms, goji and scallop, the soup comes out clear, sweet and comforting, and is traditionally enjoyed to support the eyes and a calmer spirit.
