Solomon's Seal, Fig, Conpoy, and Green Radish Soup

Why people make this soup

When the weather turns dry, or when anxiety and disturbed sleep have left the body feeling internally overheated — with a scratchy throat, coughing, or mouth ulcers — traditional Chinese food therapy calls for ingredients that nourish yin and gently clear internal heat. This soup is Nourilo’s go-to for those moments. The combination of Solomon’s seal, figs, apricot kernels, and green radish creates a broth that is pleasantly sweet, not cold or harsh, and suitable for the whole family. Green radish is also notably richer in vitamin C than white daikon and has a traditional reputation for clearing liver heat and keeping the throat and tongue moist.
