After a long day of work, it can be disappointing to find oneself repeatedly served with the same uninspiring soups like tomato and potato, watercress, or carrot with lean meat. The benefits we derive from these soups are limited. However, this book offers a refreshing alternative with over forty choices of soups that go beyond the usual vegetable-based options. These soups primarily feature medicinal ingredients and dried goods. The book is divided into five main series, each targeting specific health benefits: nourishing skin and promoting beauty, nourishing the lungs and alleviating cough and phlegm, nourishing the liver and kidneys while replenishing qi and blood, clearing heat and reducing irritation, and dispelling dampness and detoxification. Not only does the book prioritize health benefits, but it also emphasizes taste, ensuring that you can invigorate your body with delicious and nourishing soups.
