Chinese Yam, Snow Ear Fungus, Apricot Kernel and Lily Bulb Soup

Why people make this soup

Even after testing negative for COVID-19, many people are left dealing with what is now commonly called “long COVID” — a cluster of ongoing symptoms including chronic cough, breathlessness, anxiety, poor sleep, brain fog, fatigue, and joint pain. Nourilo has seen many of these cases and is clear that Chinese medicine, when applied thoughtfully, can provide meaningful support alongside conventional care. This soup is one of the simplest tools in that recovery toolkit. The four ingredients have been used in Cantonese households for generations and together are traditionally associated with nourishing the lung qi, calming the digestive system, and easing respiratory discomfort. It is mild enough for children — and because it can be made savoury or sweet, even picky eaters tend to accept it.
