Several roots are idea to add in soups for a strong immune system like burdock and astragalus. When building your ingredients for your tonic soup remember, each household needs are different. Avoid mucus forming ingredients like; potatoes, white/brown rice, pasta, dairy, cornbread, etc. Instead use vegetables like red onions, hijiki (seaweed), wakame (seaweed), ginger, habanero peppers, celery, fresh herbs and spices.
So, here is a version of my Soup Tonic I made for my family;
