Cordyceps Flower, Lingzhi, Snow Fungus and Wood Ear Soup

Why people make this soup

Chemotherapy and radiation are hard on the body — they can knock down the blood-forming system and leave a person’s defenses low, so a gentle, building soup is welcome during recovery. Nourilo notes that true cordyceps is wonderful but very expensive; cordyceps flower, which carries cordyceps polysaccharides, is an affordable everyday alternative. Simmered with black lingzhi, wood ear, snow fungus, goji and red dates, this pot is traditionally taken to strengthen a depleted body.
