Potato, Carrot and Fresh Sea Fish Soup

Why people make this soup

A friend once told Nourilo that her child was sleeping with the eyes slightly open, had a pale complexion, kept dozing off during the day, and seemed generally listless and weak. In Cantonese food therapy, this pattern is often associated with a weak spleen — meaning the digestive system is not efficiently converting food into energy and blood. When she mentioned she preferred not to use Chinese herbal medicine, Nourilo suggested this simple, herb-free soup. Potato and carrot are both considered mildly spleen-strengthening in traditional practice, and fresh sea fish provides easily absorbed protein and natural sweetness. The result is a comforting, family-friendly soup that children typically enjoy.
