Kudzu, Job's Tears & Carrot Soup

Why people make this soup

Kudzu root is available year-round and the roots are often large, so it is common to find it sold in halves. Nourilo pairs it with Job’s tears and carrot, simmered with pork shin. The soup comes out clear and naturally sweet, and is traditionally valued not just for guarding against the “three highs” (high blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol) but also for easing neck-and-shoulder soreness and puffiness.
