Some of my favourite soul-warming and gut-loving flavours and ingredients are in this scrumptious soup. It’s the perfect simmer to pop together on a cold winter day or anytime you feel your immune system needs a boost, with plenty of beautiful immune-enhancing nutrients from shiitake mushrooms, ginger and garlic.
