Fresh Yam, Chestnut and Silkie Chicken Soup

Why people make this soup

When the digestive system is running below par — whether from seasonal cold, stress, or simply low energy — a nourishing yet light soup can do a lot of good. Nourilo put this one together as a way to warm and support the spleen and stomach without the “dry heat” risk that comes with more aggressively warming tonic dishes. Fresh yam brings a gentle sweetness, dendrobium adds cool moisture, and chestnuts lend body and a natural earthy flavour — together they make the soup both pleasant to eat and easy on the gut.
