Soups
Fuzzy Gourd, Adzuki Bean, Hyacinth Bean and Pork Shin Soup
Traditionally used to clear summer heat and drain dampness
Why people make this soup
After Minor Heat (Xiaoshu) the weather turns sweltering, so Nourilo likes to cook with seasonal melons. Winter melon soup is a favorite, but fuzzy gourd is great too — and cheap. Fuzzy gourd is actually the tender young form of winter melon, with a fuzzy skin and traditionally seen as even more supportive of healthy vital energy. It is associated with generating fluids, quenching thirst and draining dampness. This soup is a lovely choice for the hottest days.
