Fresh Chinese Yam, Dendrobium, Goji and Baby Corn Soup

Why people make this soup

Beyond foods rich in vitamin A and beta-carotene, many natural antioxidant foods containing lutein and zeaxanthin are very kind to the eyes. Nourilo built this soup from ingredients traditionally seen as good for the eyes, and pairs them with pork ribs so it is both tasty and nourishing — a comforting bowl for anyone who wants to look after their vision.

Method

1. Peel the fresh yam and cut into chunks. Rinse the fresh dendrobium and cut into sections.
2. Rinse the baby corn and goji; pit the red dates; blanch the pork ribs.
3. Put everything in a pot with 8 cups of water and simmer for about an hour and a half until reduced to about 1.2 L. Serve with the ingredients.

Nourilo’s Tips

This soup is sweet and tasty, suitable for young and old. If you can’t get fresh dendrobium, use about 11 g of the dried.
