In Cantonese cuisine, soup is a huge part of the culture. We call it (tong) and it’s usually served before meals to “open the stomach”. Since soups are warm, they act as a primer to gently warm up the digestive system and prepare for heavier foods. This is rooted in Chinese medicine philosophy. The warm liquid eases the stomach which helps with better digestion and appetite 😊
Soup is also seen as a form of love ❤️ A way to express love and care for someone is to make sure they are nourished with comforting soup 🥰
