Soups
Daikon radish is a superfood for the digestive system. This radish has been used traditionally for centuries in Chinese cooking to benefit the Spleen and the Stomach, especially if you have heat conditions in the body.
This hearty hot soup – remember, the Stomach loves warmth – is the perfect complement to a chilly fall day. With the addition of fresh herbs and the delicate taste of celery root, this soup can be paired with just about any main dish, or can be enjoyed all on its own. The earthy root vegetables in this soup (celery root, anise bulb, carrots) give the Stomach an added boost. Leeks and garlic both benefit the Liver, while mushrooms cleanse and detoxify the body. Dried mushroom powder also lends an added layer of flavor to this soup.
This tasty soup is great for benefiting Kidney energy, as it contains scallops. All seafood, especially those with shells, boost the Kidney’s energy. Add scallions for Liver support and a dash of sesame oil and walnut oil to further strengthen the Kidney and Liver!
