Instructions
 

Preparing Mushroom Matrix Broth

  • Preparation: Gather all your ingredients and kitchen tools for the broth.
  • Sauté Vegetables: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, sliced carrot, and sliced celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes or until the vegetables are softened.
  • Add Seasonings: Add salt, black pepper, bay leaves, and thyme to the pot. Stir well to combine.
  • Incorporate Mushroom Matrix Powder: Add Mushroom Matrix Powder to the pot. Stir well to ensure it's fully integrated into the mixture.
  • Add Liquid: Pour 6 cups of water into the pot. Add the soy sauce or tamari for extra umami flavour.
  • Simmer: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 30-40 minutes. This will allow the flavours to meld and the beneficial compounds in the Mushroom Matrix Powder to infuse into the broth.
  • Strain and Set Aside: After simmering, strain the broth to remove the solid ingredients. Your Mushroom Matrix Broth is now ready for the soup.

Preparing Immune-Boosting Soup

  • Sauté Onions and Garlic: In the same large pot, heat up olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until translucent. Add in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  • Add celery, carrot and mushrooms: Add the sliced celery and shiitake mushrooms to the pot. Sauté for about 10 minutes or until the mushrooms have wilted.
  • Spice It Up: Add sea salt, black pepper, and turmeric to the pot. Stir well to combine the spices with the vegetables.
  • Pour in Broth and Water: Add the prepared Mushroom Matrix Broth and an additional 4 cups of water to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  • Simmer: Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for at least an hour. The longer it simmers, the richer the flavours will become.
  • Add Greens: In the last 10 minutes of cooking, add the chopped baby bok choy and kale. Stir until they wilt into the soup.
  • Add the grated ginger, taste, and adjust the seasoning to your preference.

Notes

  • The soup is rich in immune-boosting ingredients like turmeric, garlic, and a variety of vegetables.
  • Serve or Store: Serve the soup warm. If storing, let it cool before transferring to an airtight container. It can be refrigerated for up to a week or frozen for up to 3 months.
