Glehnia, Solomon's Seal and Fresh Conch Soup

Why people make this soup

If you have come back from a trip where rich, fried, or roasted food was unavoidable, you may notice a lingering dryness in your throat or a vague sense of internal warmth. This is the soup Nourilo turns to in moments like that. Glehnia root and Solomon’s seal are time-honored partners in the Cantonese kitchen for supporting the body’s moisture and cooling functions, and fresh conch adds a wonderfully sweet, clean flavour that makes the broth genuinely enjoyable to drink. It is the kind of soup you make on a summer evening and feel better for by morning.
