Soups
Lotus Root, Chestnut, Fig and Dried Scallop Soup
Traditionally taken to strengthen bones and support the cardiovascular system
Why people make this soup
On a still-chilly day Nourilo picks warming, cold-dispelling ingredients at the market. He found chestnuts big and cheap, took some home, and paired them with lotus root for a soup. Chestnuts carry plenty of minerals — magnesium in particular is traditionally linked to bone health — while lotus root brings potassium and calcium. Add fig (for the throat and digestion) and dried scallop (nourishing and savoury), and you get a fresh, delicious soup associated with strong bones and a healthy heart.
