Tamari
Ingredients:
¼cup finely chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish
¼cup finely chopped fresh chives, for garnish
Directions:
1. Bring 2 quarts of water to a boil in a stockpot over medium-high heat. Add the onion, carrots, garlic, zucchini,
tomatoes, green beans, and corn. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, for about 30 minutes, or until the
vegetables are tender.
2. Stir in the tomato sauce and cook until warmed through. Add the Cleansing Spice Blend 1 minute before turning
off the heat. Season the soup with herb salt and tamari to taste. Ladle into serving bowls and garnish the soup with
cilantro and chives.
Traditional Chinese medicine usually does not recommend raw food, as it is thought to put out the digestive
fire and cause stomach issues. This is particularly true in the summer, when the hot weather heats your body
up, leaving you more at risk of inflammation and infection. Also, during hot weather, parasites and
microorganisms proliferate, making it much easier for us to get sick from affected produce and meat—unless
we sterilize by cooking. Cooking also makes the nutrients in food easier to assimilate for your body. So,
though it may seem counterintuitive in the hotter months, I heartily recommend you support your health with a
delicious soup!
CHICKEN LEEK SOUP WITH DRIED PLUMS AND
QUINOA
BENEFITS: HEART + METABOLISM + DIGESTION
This delicious dish combines the natural sweetness of dried plums with the pungent
leek for a wonderful fusion of unique flavors and healthy benefits. A French-Canadian
patient of mine from Montreal shared this recipe, which had been passed down in her
family, a dish they often ate for Canadian Thanksgiving instead of turkey. My patient
claimed it was her grandmother’s favorite, who lived to be 102. Combining the dried
plums with the chicken helps break down the proteins, making this dish easier to
digest. The plum itself has numerous benefits, including that it is high in vitamins,
good for digestion, and helps keep the chicken moist. Quinoa is very high in protein
and fiber, plus it cooks fast, tastes delicious, and is a very nice complement to the
chicken.
