Chicken and Sremen Coicis Soup

This soup is great for springtime; it nourishes the body and helps reduce internal dampness.

In spring, the weather swings between warm and chilly—Mom always said, “This is when dampness creeps in, and our digestion weakens.”

She would simmer this chicken soup with raw and cooked sremen coicis—cooked ones for aroma, raw ones to clear dampness.

And she’d always remind me, “Add a slice of ginger—it’s a cold-natured soup, your tummy needs warmth.”

One bowl nourishes not just the body, but the feeling of being cared for.

Cooking Tips 烹飪技巧

Sremen Coicis aid in diuresis but have a cooling nature, so drink in moderation. Adding ginger helps balance the cooling nature, making the soup gentler on the stomach.
