   To make your own soup to strengthen your immune system, follow these guidelines.

   
   

   For each person you are serving add this per person: 

   
   

   Chop at least one half an onion.

   Chop or slice at least two cloves of garlic.

   Sauté these well in olive oil until the onions are soft and translucent.

   
   

   Add chopped fresh vegetables, whatever is in season is fine, or try these 

   
   

   Yellow Squash

   Zucchini

   Bell Pepper (red, green, yellow or orange)

   Broccoli

   Green beans

   Corn

   You can try any one or all of them together.

   
   

   Also add a lot of seaweed, mushrooms and tonic roots. Add sea salt for flavor.

   
   

   Use seasonings such as: 

   
   

   Tarragon

   Basil

   Oregano

   Make your own vegetable stock by cooking the vegetables and seasonings in a pot of water. Alternatively, you can purchase vegetable stock or vegetable broth; just make sure that you get the low sodium kind.

   
   

   Add your onions to your vegetables and seasonings, bring to a boil and simmer for about an hour. You can also add a little cooking sherry or white wine for a mild flavor. After your soup simmers, remove it from the heat and let it sit overnight in a cool place. This is called "mellowing." The next day you can serve the soup with hard, crusty bread.

   
   

   Seaweed is very beneficial for removing radiation and heavy metals from the body's tissues. Mushrooms are great for strengthening the immune system. They also work to prevent cancer. Shitake mushrooms are most widely recognized for their medicinal properties and helping to prevent disease and cancer, but other mushrooms, including the button kind, work great too. Try different kinds of mushrooms, including Portobello's, porcinni or others.

   
   

   Glyconutrients Powder

   
   

   Yes! You can actually add several scoops of glyconutrients powder directly to the pot or mixed into each bowl without noticing any change in the flavor. Just make sure that the glyconutrients supplement is not a cheap knock-off product and has been formulated correctly so that the vital nutrients will not be denatured in the hot soup. This is a great way to maintain a strong immune system since glyconutrients are essential to immune system function!
