Turkey tail soup - Good for your immunne system 🦃

Published: Tue, 10/27/20

Turkey tail is a wild mushroom that has a good amount of scientific study and traditional human use behind it's claim of boosting your immune system and being good for your overall gut health. It is used in traditional medicine in Asia and has a lot of press and studies on it's use as a supplement in cancer treatment. I'm a chef, not a doctor, so I make this soup because it tastes good and possibly has health benefits. You don't have to find it in the wild, you can buy it in powdered form, but it is fun to find in the forest. Check out my recipe for turkey tail soup below (vegetarian/vegan options).
