In short: Dragon Tongue Leaf, Stone Huangpi and Carrot Soup is a soup that traditionally used to help clear heat, dissolve phlegm, and support relief from persistent coughing. It is most often made for respiratory & lung wellness, cooling & summer heat. Total time about 70 min. Key ingredients: carrot, honey dates.
Why people make this soup
After a cold or a bout of throat inflammation, the cough and phlegm that linger can feel harder to shake than the illness itself. Nourilo put together this soup as a gentle, food-based way to support the body through that recovery phase. The combination of fresh dragon tongue leaf and stone huangpi works to clear accumulated heat in the lungs, while the apricot kernels and honey dates round out the flavour and help soothe the airways. Because the overall nature of this soup is mild rather than strongly cold, it is one of the few respiratory soups that both adults and children can drink comfortably.

Ingredient notes for this recipe
- Apricot kernels: Raw apricot kernels contain amygdalin, which turns into cyanide after eating. EFSA estimates that half of one small raw kernel can exceed the safe level for a toddler. Use no more than the recipe states, never eat them raw, and do not serve them to young children. Source: European Food Safety Authority
