Why people make this soup

Watercress is in season all year and is one of the most wholesome greens around. In the food-therapy tradition it is used to clear lung and stomach heat, support digestion and soothe a dry throat. Paired with snakehead fish it makes a wonderfully matched soup, and Nourilo likes it for anyone feeling dry-mouthed, run-down or simply in need of a gentle, restoring bowl.
