Kudzu Root, Carrot and Fresh Fish Soup

Why people make this soup

In that betwixt-and-between weather, neither warm nor cold, it is easy to catch a chill, with aching bones and especially tight neck and shoulder muscles. Nourilo likes to make a kudzu-root soup at such times. Kudzu root is traditionally regarded as clearing heat, generating fluids and easing thirst, supporting the digestion, and helping with muscle tightness and aching limbs — and it is associated with easing the throat discomfort of an early cold. Cooked with carrot, rice beans, hyacinth beans and fresh fish, it makes a good seasonal wellness soup that supports the body against the weather.
