Fresh Chinese Yam and Mud Carp Soup
traditionally used to support nutritional needs during pregnancy, breastfeeding, and postpartum recovery — also beneficial for children's growth
Why people make this soup
The secret to a great fish soup — as Nourilo always emphasises — is starting with the freshest fish you can find. Mud carp (niu qiu yu) has a somewhat rougher texture than some other fish, but it is low in fat and very high in calcium, making it an excellent choice for pregnant women who want to support their baby’s bone development without the mercury risk of large ocean fish. Combined with the earthy sweetness of fresh Chinese yam and carrot, this soup is warm, easy to digest, and deeply nourishing through the colder months.
