Daylily, Tofu, and Lean Pork Soup

Why people make this soup

Mild fatty liver often gives no obvious signs; by the time the liver area feels uncomfortable and appetite drops, it may already be more advanced. Nourilo’s advice is plain: clean up the diet, stop drinking, and cut back on overly salty and heavily seasoned food. A mild fatty liver can often improve with sensible eating. This simple soup is traditionally associated with clearing damp-heat, easing fullness in the chest, and relieving bloating — a gentle, supportive bowl for those minding their liver.

Method

  1. Soak the daylily buds until soft; cut the tofu into pieces; shred the pork.
  2. Put everything into a pot with 1.2 L of water.
  3. Boil for about 15 minutes.
  4. Serve, eating both the soup and the ingredients together.

Nourilo’s Tips

This soup is simple and quick to make. People with hepatitis or cirrhosis can also take it regularly. If you can find loach fish, adding half 600 g makes it even more beneficial for those with hepatitis.
