Gut-Healing Miso & Mushroom Soup
"Packed with gut-supporting nutrients, this deeply nourishing and grounding soup is full of flavour and depth. Gut-loving prebiotic fibre, probiotics and nourishing minerals help support the digestive system and calm inflammation. The shiitake mushrooms, garlic and ginger add a restorative touch with their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits, along with a delicious complexity of flavour. Add rice noodles for a more filling meal," says nutritional therapist Alexa Mullane.
