Soups
Codonopsis, Chestnut and Teal Duck Soup
Traditionally used to nourish the kidneys, strengthen the lower back and build the constitution
Why people make this soup
I still remember a trip back to my home village when a neighbour returned from the codonopsis-growing region of Shanxi with pounds of dried root — thick, sweet, almost like sugarcane when cooked. Codonopsis is traditionally valued for supporting energy and the body’s defences. Here I simmer it with chestnut and teal duck into a soup traditionally used to nourish the liver and kidneys, replenish qi and blood, strengthen the lower back and knees, and moisten dryness — a lovely choice for the dry season.
