Food is our medicine.
This is the kind of soup you make for serious rejuvenation, recovery and deep immune protection. This soup is especially useful when recovering from an illness, healing from a major life change, battling an acute condition, or recovering from an accident. The soup can be made with any number of vegetables or meats. Feel free to get creative and add what is local and seasonally available to you. The recipe below can act as a base, and you can work your way up from there.
And the question is, why we suggest this soup?
First of all these superfood herbs and mushrooms help you adapt to stress or deal with it effectively. They work by either calming your adrenal system or preventing your natural stress response from activating in the first place. They’ve long been used and lauded by people in the places where each is grows natively, e.g. ashwaganda in India, ginseng in Asia and rhodiola in Siberia.
The best part is that adaptogens are meant to bring you back into balance
This soup is especially useful during the transition from autumn to winter or form winter to spring to prevent getting sick.
