For centuries, the Chinese have used soups to nourish the body and soul. Chinese Herbal Soup, slow-cooked with herbs and lean meat, is the perfect example of food as medicine: comforting, nutritious, and naturally healing.
With ceramic cookware, making traditional soups like this becomes easier and cleaner.
Why Ceramic Pots Work Best for Soups
Ceramic cookware retains steady heat, making it ideal for slow-cooking and simmering. Unlike metal pots, it doesn’t react with herbal ingredients, preserving the soup’s pure taste.
Ella’s eco-friendly ceramic coating also ensures that no toxins or metallic flavours leach into your food.
