Double-Fruit Walnut Soup (Ginkgo Monk-Fruit Walnut Tea)

Why people make this soup

Acute bronchitis that isn’t properly cared for can settle into a chronic form, with a cough that keeps returning, plenty of phlegm, and bouts lasting two or three months a year. Over time the constant coughing can leave both lungs and kidneys feeling depleted — cough, wheeze, fatigue, an achy lower back and weak knees, and a faint wheezing in the throat. This Double-Fruit Walnut Soup is traditionally regarded as supporting the lungs and kidneys and as helping to “gather in” the lungs and settle the breath, making it a fitting choice for those with a lung-and-kidney-depleted picture.
