Lion's Mane, Poria & Soybean Soup

Why people make this soup

As we age, it is natural for memory and mental sharpness to gradually fade — many older adults find themselves forgetting recent events, feeling mentally foggy, or responding more slowly than they used to. In Chinese food therapy, the spleen is considered the root of acquired vitality and is linked to mental clarity, so nourishing it is a traditional first step. Nourilo often recommends this soup as a gentle, easy-to-prepare brew that the whole family can enjoy together, making it a practical addition to any household’s weekly routine.
