Why people make this soup

After a run of festive banquets and late nights, many people notice their body sending small signals of overload: a canker sore on the tongue, tender or puffy gums, a heavy feeling in the belly. In traditional Chinese food therapy this cluster of symptoms is often described as excess stomach heat. Nourilo’s go-to remedy is this unpretentious, naturally sweet soup — soybean sprouts, ripe tomato, and tofu simmered together with lean pork until everything is soft and fragrant. It is the kind of soup that feels as gentle as it tastes.
