Boiling apples, pears, white radish and red dates in water can moisten the lungs and relieve coughs, promote digestion, replenish nutrition, clear away heat and reduce fire, and replenish qi and blood.

During a training session on Traditional Chinese Medicine's "Medicine and Food Have the Same Origin" (Chinese Medicine and Food), the instructor specifically mentioned that "Pitaya Flower Soup" is a signature Cantonese summer soup! (It was only through the training that I learned that "Pitaya Flower" is actually the flower of the dragon fruit.) Pitaya Flower itself clears heat and moistens the lungs, acting like a "cooling air conditioner" for your respiratory tract. Drinking this soup can be incredibly soothing for a dry cough in the summer. Pork bones replenish calcium and protein, and with our high daily activity levels, drinking this soup can boost our energy. Carotene, known as "little ginseng," is rich in vitamin A, which can relieve dry eyes and brighten skin. Apricot kernels and figs moisten the lungs, relieve coughs, and aid digestion. After a heavy barbecue hot pot meal, a bowl of this soup can also help alleviate stomach discomfort. This summer soup clears heat and moisturizes dryness, while also nourishing the body, making it suitable for the whole family. Those who appreciate life and appreciate the "sigh" (enjoyment) of life should definitely try this summer soup!
The refrigerator was filled with lychees fed by neighbors, friends, and colleagues one after another, and I instantly remembered the lychee chicken soup I made before! I always thought that the price of lychees was "arrogant", and every time I made this soup, it was like a "luxury experience", and I was still not satisfied after making it. This year, the price of lychees is affordable, and with everyone's enthusiastic feeding, I can finally turn over this favorite again! ~~ Remove the pits and take out the meat of the lychees, put them into the pot with fresh chicken and pitted red dates, and add Ophiopogon japonicus and Polygonatum odoratum to neutralize the warm nature. Even I, who am afraid of getting angry, can drink it with confidence! The fruity and meaty aromas slowly seep out, and the soup is sweet and mellow, and it still tastes like the fairy in my memory! After drinking the soup and eating the meat, I have to say that this wave of feeding is simply a "god assist". This time I can finally drink enough and make up for all the "drinks" I didn't "drink enough" in the past~
