I have excerpted the following from with permission from Minding My Mitochondria: How I Overcame Secondary Progressive MS And Got Out Of My Wheelchair 2nd Edition.
This is an extremely simple winter soup that will bring warmth and overtones of happiness to the kitchen. My friend Sharon, who provided the recipe, simply listed ingredients, so I have given amounts; feel free to adjust them to suit your taste.
