Loofah, Bamboo Fungus, Corn and Pork Rib Soup

Why people make this soup

This is one of Nourilo’s favorite summer soups — light, cooling, and traditionally associated with clearing summer heat and supporting a slimming diet. Loofah is said to clear heat and resolve phlegm, so the soup also suits people who feel heavy with damp or carry a lot of phlegm. It is an easy weekday pot that everyone at the table can share.
