Chinese Yam, Fritillaria and Dried Crocodile Meat Soup

Why people make this soup

In Chinese tradition, wheezing is sorted into “excess” and “deficiency” patterns — and within deficiency, lung-weak and kidney-weak types. Nourilo offers this slow-simmered yam, fritillaria and dried crocodile meat soup for the deficiency type: when the breathing is short, the cough lingers, the phlegm is thin, clear and white, and the voice is low and faint. It is traditionally valued for nourishing three organ systems at once — lung, spleen and kidney.
