Double-Boiled Fish Maw, Conch and Silkie Chicken Soup

Why people make this soup

Cold weather is perfect for double-boiling something nourishing to keep warm. But some people “can’t take strong tonics” — the moment they eat one, their mouth feels bitter and dry and the chest feels stuffy and hot. For them, Nourilo reaches for gentler, yin-nourishing, moistening ingredients like fish maw and sea whelk. Traditionally this soup is used to nourish yin and blood and gently support the kidneys, and is associated with helping people who feel weak and weary with a sallow complexion.
