In Chinese medicine point of view, this soup helps moisturizing lungs, stop coughing and reduce mucus.
This soup is packed with nutrients and health benefits. Perfect with cold winter days here in Canada. We grow a lot of large leafy bok choy in our backyard garden. We use the fresh bok choy in stir fry recipes and soup. We also sun dry the excess bok choy and sun dry it away to make soup in the cooler months.

Just a few notes on the dried ingredients included in this soup recipe.
Bok Choy is a super food:
Why is bok choy a superfood? It's a part of a powerful group of vegetables known for incredible health benefits through detoxification. Brassica vegetables provide health-promoting phytochemicals, such as vitamins, carotenoids, fiber, soluble sugars, minerals, glucosinolates and phenolic compounds.
Dried Honey Dates 金黄蜜枣:
Honey dates add sweetness to the soup and are an excellent source of dietary fiber, folic acid, iron, potassium, protein and B-vitamins.
Dried Fox Nuts 芡实:
Makhanas are rich in proteins and good carbohydrates. They contain a flavonoid called kaempferol, which has anti-ageing and anti-inflammatory properties. They are gluten-free, high in magnesium, which makes them suitable for heart patients. Despite being rich in carbs the GI index of these puffed white balls is lower than our regular food like bread and rice. Makhana is rich in iron, which is important for the formation of haemoglobin in the blood.
Dried Tangerine Peel 陳皮:
Tangerine peel contains many beneficial compounds that are believed to support good cholesterol levels, blood sugar, and to support a healthy liver. Also, tangerine peel can support the health of the digestive system and help to better digest fatty foods.
Dried Apricot Kernels 南北杏:
Chinese medicine to treat lung conditions such as asthma and chronic coughs caused by dry lungs (since it's an effective expectorant for expelling phlegm) as well as to relieve constipation.
Dried Lily Bulbs 百合:
Dried lily bulbs are commonly used in herbal formulas for promoting lung health, treating yin-deficiency of the heart which manifests as irritability, insomnia, dreaminess, palpitation and absent-mindedness, and promotes vital fluid and improves skin complexion.
