Why people make this soup

Some people, after overwork or a poor recovery from illness, feel run-down, low on energy and short on appetite. The tricky part is that many of them “can’t take a tonic” — one bowl of something strong and they get a dry mouth, mouth ulcers or a sore throat. Nourilo’s answer is gentle tonifying: mild, even-natured foods like Chinese yam, lotus seed and chestnut that rebuild quietly without overheating. This soup is sweet and easy to drink, and traditionally supports the spleen and kidneys.
