Polygonatum, Goji and Apple Soup

Why people make this soup

Nourilo had working women in mind for this one — people juggling demanding jobs and family who run on tension all day, sometimes to the point of poor sleep and a fluttery, restless feeling. Sea polygonatum is a relative of the polygonatum family, traditionally used to replenish qi and moisten. Paired with goji, fig, and apple, it makes a gentle, naturally sweet bowl that nourishes without being heating — friendly even for people who “can’t take strong tonics.”

Method

1. Slice the polygonatum and figs; core and cut the apple; rinse the goji.
2. Put everything in the pot with 1.5 L of water.
3. Simmer down to 600 ml (about 1 hour). Drink the soup and eat the ingredients.

Nourilo’s Tips

This soup is traditionally associated with nourishing the skin and is gentle enough for people watching blood sugar or blood pressure. It is mild and harmonizing, suitable for the whole family.
