Making soup doesn’t need to be difficult! With just a few ingredients, and in a short period of time, we can create a delicious pot of soup that will last a few days.

This soup includes ingredients that support Kidney (fish, tofu), Liver (scallions), Heart (tomato) and Stomach/Spleen (ginger). Salt water fish supports healthy Kidney function. Be sure to purchase wild-caught, not farm raised fish, to avoid ingesting genetically modified foods. When you cook with fish, follow this tip: always use ginger!
