Agaricus, Lion's Mane & Tea Tree Mushroom Chicken Soup

Why people make this soup

Nourilo picked up these three prized mushrooms on a trip to the dried-seafood market while shopping for Lunar New Year provisions. Agaricus (ji song rong), lion’s mane (hou tou gu), and tea tree mushroom (cha shu gu) are all individually recognised for their food-therapy value; together in one pot they make a soup that is genuinely special. The flavour is rich and earthy without being heavy, and the combination is traditionally valued for building up someone who has been depleted — whether by illness, overwork, surgery, or just the cumulative fatigue of daily life. A bowl of this once or twice a week can be a quiet act of self-care.
