Why people make this soup

This well-established Cantonese soup is a sensible choice for anyone dealing with throat or lung irritation: all four main ingredients have reputations for clearing heat, relieving throat and lung discomfort, and supporting the body’s ability to process and eliminate irritants. It is a wonderful everyday soup for anyone exposed to air pollution, kitchen fumes, or simply dry, dusty weather. Green olives come into peak season in autumn, and the soup comes together beautifully.
