Walnut, Ginkgo Nut, and Pork Lung Soup

Why people make this soup

In densely populated cities with variable air quality, many people — adults and children alike — find that coughs linger long after a cold has passed. In traditional Cantonese food-therapy, when a cough persists and the pattern resembles a weakness in both the lung and kidney systems (chronic bronchitis, asthma-type wheezing, or elderly respiratory frailty), practitioners often turn to warming, nourishing ingredients like walnuts and ginkgo nuts. This hearty soup is Nourilo’s go-to recommendation for families dealing with exactly that kind of stubborn, recurring cough.
