Black Bean, Tribulus, Goji & Chrysanthemum Pork Liver Soup

Why people make this soup

Many of us spend hours in front of screens every day, and the eyes pay the price — redness, wateriness, that burning sensation late in the afternoon. In traditional Chinese food therapy, prolonged eye strain is often linked to the liver, which is said to “open to the eyes.” When the liver is overworked or when its fire flares — from stress, too little sleep, or simply staring at a screen all day — the eyes feel it first. This soup combines a little-known but very useful herb, tribulus fruit (bai ji li), with the classic pairing of goji and chrysanthemum to calm that liver fire and help the eyes feel more rested.
