Papaya and sweet potato braised fan bone soup

Overview

The dry climate in autumn can easily lead to lack of body fluids, damage to yin and damage to the lungs. This is what we often call autumn dryness. People often experience varying degrees of dryness in the mouth, nose, skin and other parts of the body, so we should eat more nourishing, moist and juicy foods, and less spicy and fried foods. In Guangdong, papaya soup is a favorite drink of many people. It is sweet and moist. It is usually paired with apricots, snow fungus and other ingredients. Today, it is a new idea. It is paired with sweet potatoes, which are also a good ingredient to prevent autumn dryness. Sweet potatoes were once listed as the champion of the 13 best vegetables. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that sweet potatoes have the functions of nourishing the body and blood, replenishing qi and promoting fluid production, widening the stomach and intestines, and relieving constipation. Now that it is autumn, constipation is easy to occur. The effect of eating sweet potatoes in preventing constipation is particularly obvious. In addition, when we choose papaya to make soup, we should not choose one that is too ripe to avoid it becoming rotten in one pot. This soup has the effects of clearing heat and moisturizing the lungs, digesting food and laxative, anti-aging and nourishing the skin.
