Parsley, Spearmint and Grass Carp Soup

Why people make this soup

Parsley (European parsley, also called ou qin or Holland parsley) and spearmint are a natural pairing for a light, aromatic soup. Research suggests parsley may support circulation, encourage the body to flush waste, and help the kidneys clear accumulated salts. Combined with spearmint — which is cooling and helps relieve surface heat — and ginger to warm the stomach, the soup is both genuinely tasty and traditionally associated with easing cold symptoms, soothing headaches, and supporting the kidneys. It cooks in under ten minutes.
