Lotus Root, Black Bean & Dried Octopus Pork Rib Soup

Why people make this soup

Many new mothers find that milk supply is affected by uneven nutrition, stress, or insufficient sleep after delivery. Traditional food therapy views this soup as a gentle way to nourish the body during the postpartum period. The combination of lotus root, black beans, and dried octopus has long been prepared in Cantonese households as a wholesome meal to support recovery. Nourilo has shared this recipe because it doubles as a flavourful, everyday soup that the whole family can enjoy — not just the new mother.
