Why people make this soup
Hong Kong’s warm, humid climate means skin warts are not uncommon — the virus that causes them spreads more easily when skin immunity is low, especially in older adults. Soybean sprouts are easy to overlook as an everyday vegetable, but they are nutritionally rich: packed with B vitamins (including B2), minerals, and plant compounds associated in traditional food therapy with anti-fatigue effects, clearing heat, reducing gum bleeding, supporting eye clarity, and lowering cholesterol. The B2 content is particularly relevant here — it has been traditionally linked to keeping skin healthy and helping to slow the spread of certain skin viruses.
When paired with tomatoes — rich in lycopene, associated with slowing pigmentation and age-related cellular changes — this becomes a genuinely useful everyday soup. It is light, slightly tangy, and deeply appetising. Regular consumption is traditionally said to support overall skin tone and clarity.
What studies say about the key ingredients
Traditional use is not the same as clinical proof. Here is the strongest human research we found for each ingredient, limitations included.
- Ginger
Overall, acute and delayed nausea and vomiting did not differ significantly between ginger and control groups. A subgroup taking 1 g/day or less for over four days had less acute vomiting (OR 0.30).Limitation: Clinical heterogeneity between trials required subgroup analyses, and the authors state that sufficiently large, high-quality RCTs are still needed.PubMed 36501010 · 3 more ginger studies
