🌸Lung & skin moisturizing soup for dryness, heat, and coughs and is also skin food!
This is one of my favorite gentle soups when the body feels dry (my winter heater still flaring), heaty, irritated (especially lungs + throat). In TCM, this soup works by: clearing heat + generating fluids + moistening the lungs. A huge thank you to .pantry for sharing this soup pack with me to try! The timing is perfect!
🍐 Dried snow pear + fresh apples: generate fluids, gently cools and soothes dryness. They are super gentle and great for the whole family with readily available ingredients.
🌼 Dried apricot kernels (north + south): helps descend Lung Qi and stops cough + eases wheezing
☁️ Snow fungus (white fungus): deeply moisturizes lungs + skin and supports fluids (this is your “beauty food”)
🍯 Dried monk fruit (luo han guo): clears heat, soothes throat, reduces irritation
🥩 Roasted pork: adds nourishment + turns this into a savory soup
Use 2-3 L of water, when it boils, add all the ingredients together. You can watch the LIVE video posted after this post for the full walk through and answers to questions.
In TCM, dryness isn’t just about drinking more water, it’s about restoring your body’s ability to create and hold fluids. This is what it means to be “Yin Nourishing”.
