Hairy Fig Root, Chinese Yam, Dendrobium and Fox Nut Soup

Why people make this soup

After a major illness or surgery, the body needs gentle support to recover well, especially for those with sinew or bone injuries where healing takes time and daily life is harder. Nourilo shares this nourishing soup for people recovering from illness or post-operative sinew-and-bone injuries. The herbs are mild — supportive without being drying — making the soup suitable for the recovery period.

Method

1. Soak and rinse each ingredient separately.
2. Combine with 2.4 L of water.
3. Cook for about 1.5 hours, reducing to 1.2–1.5 L.

Nourilo’s Tips

This soup is fragrant with little herbal taste, suitable for young and old. Adding some pork bone or pork shin makes it even tastier. Not suitable for those with an active cold and fever.
