Green Radish, Amla and Corn Soup

Why people make this soup

Many people dislike the slightly peppery bite of green radish, but Nourilo says cooks who use gas at home should reach for it now and then — it is traditionally seen as soothing for the throat and helpful against gas fumes. That faint pungency comes from mustard-oil compounds, which are associated with stirring the gut to move waste along and supporting healthy blood lipids, blood sugar, supple vessels and blood pressure. Paired with amla and corn, this soup is traditionally used to soothe the throat and support those minding the three highs.
