Why people make this soup
Yacon is a newer wellness fruit Nourilo likes — crisp, clean and sweet, a little like a snow pear, which makes it perfect for the soup pot. It is traditionally associated with clearing the liver, regulating the blood, moistening the lungs and easing the bowels. Paired with figs and apricot kernels into a light sweet soup, it’s the bowl Nourilo reaches for when the bowels feel sluggish and digestion is slow — it’s said to help things move along.
