Fresh Yam, Lotus Seed and Codonopsis Chicken Soup

Why people make this soup

Fresh lotus seeds and fresh Chinese yam are lovely for soups and stir-fries alike. Nourilo pairs them here with codonopsis and red dates over a light chicken base. This is the kind of restoring soup he turns to for people who feel depleted after an illness or operation: low energy, run-down, weak, poor appetite. It is traditionally used to support the spleen, boost qi, and gently rebuild strength.
