Spleen-Warming Barley, Mushroom & Herb Soup Recipe
This nourishing winter soup supports the Spleen and digestive fire, helping the body transform food into steady energy. Barley gently drains dampness and strengthens Spleen Qi, while shiitake mushrooms boost immunity and help clear cold-damp from the body. Aromatics like ginger, onion, and garlic warm the middle burner and keep Qi moving. Cooked slowly with a mineral-rich broth, this soup grounds, warms, and replenishes—perfect for colder months, sluggish digestion, and anyone needing a little Spleen-loving comfort.
