Fresh Yam, Lotus Seed, Lily Bulb, Almond and Pork-Lung Soup

Why people make this soup

Paired with fresh yam, fresh lotus seed and lily bulb, this soup is traditionally enjoyed to support digestion and the lungs, and is a kind choice for anyone with a weak spleen-stomach who feels restless or sleeps poorly. A single pork lung makes a generous pot — it splits nicely over two batches of soup. Fresh lotus seeds, available at Chinese or Asian grocers when in season, make the broth wonderfully sweet.
