Sauropus Leaf, Tangerine Cake and Apple Sweet Soup

Why people make this soup

Autumn is dry, and dryness tends to “harm the lungs” — dry throat, cracked lips, a stubborn dry cough, even dry-bowel constipation. Nourilo spotted fresh sauropus leaf at the flower stall, a favorite for a hot, dry cough, and put it with apple, tangerine cake and sweet apricot kernel to make a soothing sweet soup that traditionally moistens the lungs, supports the spleen and helps keep things moving.
