What Makes Mushrooms a Powerful Paleo Superfood?
For instance, shiitake mushrooms happen to be one of the adaptogenic mushrooms that will boost your mood. It also happens to be the only adaptogenic mushroom you can find in the grocery store. Think of it this way, mushrooms grow in an unpleasant environment and thrive. When you eat mushrooms that are considered adaptogens, they help you regulate your adrenal glands. So if you are stressed, you could benefit from incorporating more shrooms into your diet.
Another convincing study that has astonished me is learning about Maitake mushrooms. It has become my favorite and here is why: maitake mushrooms, according to Dr. Eric Berg, have clinically been proven to help reduce the risk and symptoms of cancer, reduce the size of tumors, and prevent it from spreading. When they say “eat your medicine,” I believe this is it!
In the past few months, I have invested in Om Mushroom Superfood for natural energy, immunity boost, hair, skin, and nail support. If you’d like a little more mushrooms in your life, it only makes sense to add them to this creamy mushroom soup! I have both the Om Mushroom Superfood Beauty Blend and Om Mushroom Superfood Master Blend with 10 Mushroom Species and 3 Botanical Adaptogens.
How to Make Creamy Mushroom Soup AIP-friendly?
-
To make mushroom soup free of gluten and grain: substitute All-Purpose Flour with Tapioca Flour.
-
To make mushroom soup nondairy, replace heavy cream with coconut milk and grass-fed ghee butter for butter.
-
To make mushroom soup nightshade-free, omit Tobasco.
-
Elevate this soup with some more anti-inflammatory-infused superfoods from bone broth. Here, I used Brodino’s Chicken Bone Broth infused with ginger, turmeric, reishi, dulse, and black garlic.
-
To make AIP Worcestershire, jump to The Ultimate Caesar Salad recipe.
How to Create the Creamiest Consistency in Texture:
Using an immersion blender will save you time, keep this dish to a one-pot soup, and create a smoother texture. However, a blender or food processor can also suffice. If you prefer more mushroom chunks, blend to your liking.
For some umami, using a variety of mushrooms will enhance the flavor of the soup. I used Maitake, Oyster mushrooms, Shiitake Mushrooms, Baby Bellas, Crimini, King Trumpet, and Enoki mushrooms.
