Mushroom-Miso Soup

Fall is the time of year when we see a natural dip in our immunity.

What better way to give your body a boost but with mushrooms! Even button and
cremini varieties contain healthy polysaccharides to support a weakened immune
system.

Here is an easy-to-make soup if you’re feeling under the weather and/or need
something light, nutritious and easy to digest. Be creative and substitute your
favourite varieties such as shitake and reishi mushroom. And be sure to keep a little
jar of medicinal mixed mushroom powder on hand to add an extra boost to your
healing broth.
