Fresh Chinese Yam, Dendrobium, Goji and Young Pigeon Soup

Why people make this soup

In sweltering weather, careless “tonic-taking” can leave the body heaty and uncomfortable. But for frail older adults or those recovering from surgery, a measured tonic can help improve the constitution and speed recovery — as long as the ingredients aren’t too warming or harsh. Fresh yam, goji, dendrobium and red dates are all gentle enough to enjoy in summer, and cooked with young pigeon and pork shin they make a tasty, nourishing soup.
