Niu Da Li, Chinese Yam and Lotus Seed Lean Pork Soup

Why people make this soup

Flu is busiest in the autumn and winter and spreads easily, so Nourilo reminds children, elders and anyone fragile to take care. Beyond a flu shot and regular exercise, a nourishing pot of soup is one homely way to keep the body strong. This one uses ingredients traditionally said to support resistance and ease tiredness — and best of all it has almost no medicinal taste, so the little ones will not push it away.
