A simple mushroom soup with garlic, black pepper and ginger
A simple mushroom soup with garlic, black pepper and ginger is a light bowl for dinner or a cool evening. It is supportive food and not a substitute for a doctor.
A plain mushroom bowl
Button mushrooms, a clove of garlic, a slice of ginger and a grind of black pepper need only water and a little salt. The soup stays thin enough to sip, not thick with cream.
One bowl is supportive on a day when you want something warm. It is not a substitute for a doctor if you feel ill.
Ingredients
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1 garlic clove, chopped
- A pinch of crushed black pepper
- 1 slice of ginger
- 2 cups water
How to prepare
- Rinse the mushrooms and slice them. Chop the garlic and ginger.
- Simmer everything in the water for about 15 minutes, until the mushrooms are soft.
How to use
- Taste and add a pinch of salt if you want.
- Eat one warm bowl with bread, rice, or on its own as a light meal.
- Have it fresh. Do not keep a large pot for several days.
Helpful habits
- A few drops of ghee at the end are optional. Cream and cheese are not part of this bowl.
- Crush the black pepper at the end so it stays fragrant.
Precautions
- Skip mushrooms if they do not suit you, and buy ones that look fresh and dry.
- Garlic and black pepper can feel sharp. Use one clove and a pinch, not a hot handful.
- This is supportive only and not a substitute for a doctor.
Frequently asked questions
Which mushrooms should I use?
- Fresh button mushrooms from the market are enough. Wash them and use them the same day.
Can I make it very spicy?
- A pinch of black pepper is the bowl. A lot of chilli turns it into a different dish and may bother the stomach.
Is the soup a full dinner?
- It can be a light meal. It is supportive food, not a substitute for a doctor, and not a reason to skip all other food for the day.
