Daylily, Wood Ear and Crucian Carp Soup

Why people make this soup

Nourilo loves using crucian carp for soup — it’s nutritious, the broth is easy for the body to take in, and it simmers up a lovely milky white and tastes wonderful. In the tradition, crucian carp is used to strengthen the spleen, harmonize the middle and support circulation, which makes it kind to those with weak digestion, especially after surgery, illness or childbirth. Paired with daylily, wood ear and red dates, it’s a comforting bowl for anyone feeling depleted, restless or sleeping poorly.
