Why people make this soup
Autumn dryness is notorious for causing that frustrating sensation of phlegm sitting in the throat — thick, sticky, impossible to cough up. This is especially common in older adults with weaker lung qi. Nourilo recommends this sweet soup as a gentle, tasty approach to easing that discomfort. Chinese medicine has long linked a weak spleen with excess phlegm production: when the digestive system is not working efficiently, it tends to produce more “dampness” that manifests as phlegm. Foxnuts (qian shi) address this at the spleen level; ginkgo nuts address the lungs directly; and tofu skin provides a light, nourishing quality that clears autumn heat.
