Fresh Dendrobium, Sha Shen, Mai Dong and Sea Whelk Soup

Why people make this soup

After a stretch of fried, spicy or heavily spiced food — or too many late nights — many people develop what food therapy calls stomach heat: thirst, bad breath, swollen sore gums and constipation. Plain cooling soups don’t always do the trick. Nourilo prefers ingredients that nourish stomach yin while gently cooling the heat, like fresh dendrobium, sha shen and mai dong, rounded out with sea whelk.
