Why people make this soup
Nourilo sourced some quality Solomon’s seal from a Chinese herb shop — fragrant and unsulfured — and it inspired this soup. Solomon’s seal (yu zhu) is one of those herbs that punches above its weight in a kitchen context: it nourishes the yin of the lungs and stomach, relieves dry thirst, and has a pleasant mild flavour. Paired with burdock root, which is widely eaten as a vegetable in Japan and has a mild bitter-sweet taste, plus the natural sweetness of corn with its silk (the silk is kept in the broth and is traditionally associated with urinary and blood sugar support), this becomes a straightforward everyday soup that is as pleasant to drink as it is purposeful.
