Benefits of soup:

Prebiotics from Turkey Tail, leeks & onions support healthy gut microflora, which is where we house about 70-80% of our immune system
Immunomodulating agents like beta-glucans & flavonoid antioxidants quercetin and baicalein found in Turkey Tail mushrooms help to stimulate & activate our T cells and reduce inflammation
Shiitake mushrooms also strengthen the immune system & lower inflammation
Garlic & onions, which are part of the Allium family, can inhibit inflammatory response and provide anti-viral support
Thyme is known for it’s antibacterial protection properties
