Yacon and Snow Ear Soup

Why people make this soup

Yacon is an unusual root vegetable — it looks a bit like a sweet potato but has a crisp, juicy texture and tastes closer to a mild apple or pear. In traditional Cantonese food-therapy, Nourilo has long used it as an everyday ingredient for families wanting something that is both nourishing and gentle on the stomach. Paired with snow ear fungus and figs, this soup is light, naturally sweet, and refreshing — the kind of pot you can simmer on a weekend afternoon and enjoy all week.
