A stomach-nourishing soup that’s fresh to the core.


Fish soup is one of the most popular nourishing soups in every household—it has an amazing ability to suit all kinds of health-enhancing dietary needs. Crucian carp boasts tender, delicate flesh, is rich in protein, low in fat, and offers a fresh yet not greasy flavor. When paired with Reishi mushrooms, the crucian carp soup becomes not only milky-white, with tender meat and a deliciously fresh taste, but also boasts extraordinary health benefits. It helps harmonize the body, stimulates appetite, replenishes vital energy, and strengthens the lungs—making it an excellent choice for those with weak constitutions, particularly suitable for middle-aged and elderly individuals as well as those recovering from illness. It’s also especially beneficial for postpartum women.

Cooking Tips

1. The carp you choose must be fresh; you don’t need to add MSG to the fish soup.
2. If you first pan-fry the crucian carp and then use it to make soup, the soup will have a richer, milky-white color.
3. Salt must be added right before the pot is removed from the heat; otherwise, it will cause the fish proteins to coagulate, making it difficult for the soup to turn milky white.
