Lotus Root, Red Kidney Bean and Pork Tailbone Soup

Why people make this soup

Nourilo loves how forgiving this one is. Red kidney beans are traditionally valued for nourishing the blood, and paired with lotus root, sweet figs and pork tailbone they make a mild, naturally sweet pot that is neither cooling nor heating. In the food-therapy tradition it is a favourite for women recovering after childbirth — for blood that feels depleted and for supporting milk supply — though it is gentle enough for the whole family.
