White Radish and Sour Plum Soup

Why people make this soup

Nourilo had recently made a jar of preserved sour plums (and a jar of sour-plum wine — wonderful for cooking seafood and shellfish, and the plums themselves are great for steaming ribs or stir-frying pork). One day he picked up a few small radishes and remembered this old folk remedy worth sharing. Radish and sour plum soup is traditionally taken when food sits heavily — a full, bloated belly, rib discomfort, heartburn, nausea or loss of appetite.
