Apple, Pear, Fig, Sweet Almond and Fresh Lily Bulb Sweet Soup

Why people make this soup

In traditional Chinese food therapy, autumn is associated with dryness — the season when dry air most easily depletes the body’s yin fluids, leading to dry lips, dry skin, a dry nose, a scratchy throat and a dry unproductive cough. The remedy, Nourilo explains, is to eat foods that moisten the lungs and replenish body fluids. This sweet soup does exactly that in the most enjoyable way: it tastes light, fresh and gently sweet, and contains several ingredients with a long culinary and traditional wellness history.
