Watercress Monk-Fruit Snakehead Soup

Why people make this soup

Marsh yellowcress (tang ge cai) is a medicinal green traditionally valued to calm a cough and loosen phlegm, available at Chinese or Asian grocers when in season. Simmered with snakehead fish it makes a clear, gently sweet broth; toss in a golden monk fruit and it turns into the soup Nourilo reaches for when throats feel hot and scratchy or gums are tender. Easy, soothing, and family-friendly.
