Fresh Yam, Dendrobium and Goji Pigeon Soup

Why people make this soup

Huoshan dendrobium, squab, lean pork and fresh yam, rounded out with a handful of goji berries and red dates — this combination of everyday and herbal ingredients makes a soup that, in the traditional view, both brightens the eyes and is associated with steadier blood sugar. It is an easy, comforting everyday pot. Dendrobium is available at Chinese herb shops and online; Huoshan dendrobium is a well-regarded variety worth seeking out.
