Soups
Purple Chinese Yam, Lotus Seed, Lily Bulb and Longan Sweet Soup
traditionally associated with nourishing the blood, supporting restful sleep, and calming the mind
Why people make this soup
Purple yam gets its striking color from anthocyanins, the same class of plant pigments found in blueberries and purple sweet potato. These compounds are associated with antioxidant properties and are traditionally believed to support immune function, activate lymphocyte activity and protect the kidneys. Along with the calm-inducing effects of lily bulb and lotus seeds, and the blood-nourishing warmth of longan, this soup is the kind you might reach for after a long, draining week. The result is not just visually lovely but genuinely delicious — a light, beautifully coloured sweet soup that the whole family can enjoy.
