Mushroom soup. Great for your hormones

MUSHROOM SOUP

White button mushrooms, when cooked for an hour or more, release substances called “aromatase inhibitors”. This means that it prevents you making extra oestrogen! This is good.

I add chicken pieces and extra broccoli sometimes - so tasty - a great winter meal with a piece of crispy sourdough rye :)

Serves 5

• Salt and pepper to taste.
