Green Papaya & Si Shen (Four-Herb) Soup

Why people make this soup

The firm green, unripe papaya is the one Nourilo reaches for when making soup, rather than the sweet ripe yellow variety. It carries about twice the fiber of ripe papaya, and its natural enzymes are traditionally said to help break down beans and meats. When your meals sit heavy and your stomach bloats easily, a pot of this is a comforting choice.
