Peanut Sprout and Fish Head Soup

Why people make this soup

Nourilo likes to remind everyone that menopause is not only a women’s affair. Men go through it too, usually later and more quietly, so the signs often get overlooked. The good news is that with sensible eating, a cheerful outlook, regular rest and a bit of movement, both women and men can sail through this stage comfortably. This soup is one of Nourilo’s gentle picks for that season of life.

Method

1. Rinse the peanut sprouts clean. Pit the red dates.
2. Clean the fish head, then pan-fry it in a little oil until fragrant.
3. Put everything in a pot with 2.1–2.4 L of water and simmer for 45 minutes until reduced to 0.9–1.2 L.
4. Serve the soup together with the ingredients.

Nourilo’s Tips

This soup is fresh-tasting and suits young and old. But if you have itchy skin or unexplained swellings, give it a miss for now.
