Houttuynia, Dried Pear, Lily Bulb and Candied Tangerine Soup

Why people make this soup

Houttuynia smells fishy when raw — that is where its Chinese name comes from — but once cooked the smell disappears and a clean, pleasant fragrance takes its place. Nourilo pairs it with dried snow pear, lily bulb, apricot kernels and candied tangerine for a soup that is his pick for a lung-heat cough or that stubborn cough that lingers after a cold or COVID.
