Fresh Lily Bulb, Lotus Seed & Longan Soup

Why people make this soup

Fresh lotus seeds and fresh lily bulbs are two “food-and-medicine” ingredients that make wonderful soups, sweet or savoury. Fresh lily bulb is traditionally used to calm the heart and settle the mind while nourishing yin and moistening the lung; fresh lotus seed is associated with settling the mind, supporting restful sleep and looking after the heart and blood vessels; and longan flesh is traditionally used to nourish the brain, enrich the blood and calm the spirit. Together they’re a classic comfort for an anxious mind and restless, broken sleep.
