Healing Clear Soup

In Chinese medicine and in Macrobiotic, a clear soup is a very good remedy to remove dampness from the body and strengthen immunity by strengthening organs such as the spleen. It’s such a simple recipe that you will be shocked of how delicious it is! I have ingredients that you might not easily find in the GCC, so each of the ingredients I have an alternative for you to enjoy.

Step 1

Let’s get prepping. If you choose to use Dashi, please look up How to: Dashi.

Step 2

My Dashi will add an extra depth of flavor for sure, and health benefit having kelp in it. If you are short for time, water will do :)

Step 3

Carrot; I like them round or half mooned. Shiitake mushroom cut into quarters.

Step 4

Now the greens, trim the leaves first, the stalks chop evenly and then roughly chop the leaves.

Step 5

Greens beans, chop into ½ inch pieces.

Step 6

Slice the garlic, shallot, jalapeño and green onions.

Step 7

Step 8

Place vegetables & spice bag in a pot, cover with the liquid (dashi or water)

Step 9

Simmer for 10 to 15mins. And that’s all.

Step 10

If you want this soup to be more of a filling meal, then serve with noodles, rice or sourdough loaf.
