Green Radish, Water Chestnut, Corn and Fig Soup

Why people make this soup

On a hot day, when a rich, fatty soup feels like too much, Nourilo keeps it light. Green radish, water chestnut and corn make a clean, juicy pot that is traditionally said to help the body clear waste, keep both kinds of “passage” moving, and moisten through dry weather — while leaving you feeling lighter rather than heavier.

Method

1. Peel the green radish and cut into chunks. Peel and wash the water chestnuts. Husk the corn and cut into pieces. Rinse the figs.
2. Blanch the pork ribs.
3. Add all ingredients to 2.4 L of water and simmer for about 1.5 hours, reducing to 1.2 L. Serve.
