Burdock, Lion's Mane Mushroom and Snow Fungus Soup

Why people make this soup

Eating habits have a well-recognized influence on digestive health. In traditional Chinese food therapy, a number of everyday ingredients have long been valued for their ability to support the stomach and gut. This soup brings together four of those ingredients — burdock root, lion’s mane mushroom, snow fungus, and dried fig — that are each associated in traditional practice with maintaining digestive wellness. Modern research on lion’s mane mushroom has attracted particular interest for its polysaccharide content, which has been studied in relation to gastrointestinal health. This is a gentle, mild-tasting soup that the whole family can enjoy regularly.
