Fresh Purple Yam, Lotus Seed, Corn and Lean Pork Soup

Why people make this soup

For people watching their blood sugar, many sweet fruits need careful limiting — lower-sugar options like guava, papaya, pomelo, grapefruit, and kiwi are generally better suited. This hearty soup takes a different approach: instead of fruit, it brings together several ingredients — fresh yam, lotus seeds, corn, and goji berries — that Chinese food therapy traditionally associates with supporting the spleen, moderating energy metabolism, and nourishing the blood. The result is a naturally sweet, satisfying broth that the whole family can share.
