Asian Pear Sweet Soup





I had a cough which did not go away and my friend, Tamy, who runs a chinese medicine shop recommended me to make this soup. It was supposed to nourish lungs, eliminate phlegm and relive coughs (dry cough or wind-heat cough or chronic cough), clear away heat, disperse stagnation, relieve swelling carbuncles and lung and breast tumors.


Ingredients:

Fritillariae Cirrhosae (chuan bei mu) 川貝母
Asian Pear
Rock Sugar

Method:
Wash the asian pear and remove the core.
Fill the cored pear with chuan bei mu.
Put it in a small slow cooker, fill enough water to cover the pear.
Add in a few pieces of rock sugar
Turn on slow cooker and leave to cook overnight (at least 8 hrs)
Drink soup while it is warm.
