Radish, Corn, Celery, Seaweed and Grass Carp Tail Soup

Why people make this soup

After a stretch of festive meals — roasted meats, fatty braised dishes, rich sauces — many people find themselves feeling heavy, slow, and bloated. This is Nourilo’s go-to reset soup: a naturally sweet, clear broth that uses every ingredient for a purpose. White radish is a staple of Cantonese cleansing soups, valued for its ability to support digestion and help clear accumulated heat in the stomach. Carrot adds a gentle sweetness and supports circulation. Celery brings liver-calming and blood pressure-supporting qualities to the pot. Dried seaweed (sargassum, the loose, dark-green variety sold at Chinese supermarkets) contributes its traditional role in dispersing fat and fluid retention. The grass carp tail provides a light, clean protein base without making the broth heavy.
