Immune Booster Soup
This soup includes the whole array of immune booster vegetables: leafy greens or cruciferous (broccoli, parsley), mushrooms, veggies from the allium family (garlic, scallions), root veggies (carrot, ginger), sea veggies (kombu) and healthy fats (sesame seeds). The soup can also be supplemented with legumes (or whole grains if tolerated).
