I have been seeing a lot of people this year with flu and other viral infections, so keeping your immune system healthy is an important part of staving off these viruses.
I love that this soup is packed full of herbs and spices to help boost your immune system and keep it primed. You can and other medicinal mushrooms such as reishi or maitake to taste.
