A Simple Amanita Soup that packs a powerful Immune Boom & Gut Health
One of my clients recently shared they had been struggling to take their Amanita slurry as a shot or sweetened tea. It didn’t feel right. But once they realized it was perfectly acceptable to use it as a broth, everything changed. Reverence kicked in. Suddenly, it made complete sense—especially when paired with other mushrooms or herbal allies.
I shared how I’ve done the same, without hesitation. In fact, some chefs in Japan already use Amanita muscaria as a flavor enhancer. I’ve personally added slurry to soups and found it to be the most intuitive, body-aligned option—especially for those who want nourishment without forcing anything.
Sure, I’ve baked cookies with dried Regalis, and one adventurous friend even made Amanita ice cream. But as a warm, soothing broth, Amanita shines. It’s comforting, grounding, and offers a gentle shift that feels like a full-body exhale.
Now I combine my grandmother’s immune-boom broth with Amanita for the ultimate healing ally—rooted in tradition and elevated with intention.
A Respiratory & Immune Powerhouse
This sacred soup has soothed sore throats, broken fevers, and brought comfort for generations in my family.
And with the addition of Amanita—it becomes a powerful CNS + immune ally.
This isn’t a “nice flavor” broth. It’s potent.
And it works.
🧄 Ingredients:
- 1 whole onion, quartered (keep intact)
- 1 full head of garlic, smashed
- 1–2 tbsp dried oregano
- 1-inch slice of fresh ginger
- 1 lemon, halved and squeezed (then toss whole halves in)
- Water to cover (approx. 4–6 cups)
- Optional: handful of mint (especially for respiratory relief)
🔥 Instructions:
- Combine all ingredients in a pot.
- Bring to a rapid boil, then reduce heat to a simmer.
- Simmer for 20 minutes.
- Cool slightly.
- Add 1–2 Amanita Slurry Ice Cubes while cooling to blend in the muscimol-rich benefits.
- Inhale the steam under a towel (optional) for sinus support.
- Sip warm, slowly, and repeat every 4–8 hours as needed.
🧄 Why Grandma’s Immune Boom Soup Works
This broth isn’t just comforting—it’s a biochemical powerhouse. Here’s how the ingredients function:
- Whole Onion (quartered but intact): Onions are rich in quercetin, a flavonoid known for anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and antihistamine effects. Keeping it intact allows slow release of sulfur compounds like allicin, which support immune function.
- Garlic (smashed, whole head): Crushing garlic activates allicin, a natural antibiotic and antifungal compound. It can help fight colds, flu, and even respiratory infections.
- Oregano (1–2 tbsp): Contains carvacrol and thymol—compounds shown to fight bacteria and viruses. Oregano oil is also a known antimicrobial.
- Fresh Ginger (slice or two): Contains gingerol, which supports digestion, reduces inflammation, and opens circulation—helpful for when you feel clogged or heavy.
- Lemon (squeezed and added whole): Delivers vitamin C, supports detoxification, and alkalizes the body. The rind adds limonene, a compound studied for immune-boosting and anti-cancer properties.
- Optional Mint: Menthol in mint helps open airways and soothes the respiratory tract—ideal during sinus flare-ups.
This combo steams out congestion, nourishes your system, and delivers a multi-layered immune punch—enhanced when paired with Amanita.
🍄 Why Amanita Soup Works Well
After steeping in the warmth of my grandma’s immune-boosting broth—a simple yet powerful blend —I started to think about the other healing foods we often overlook.
Her soup was about resilience, passed down through instinct, not science.
But now, blending that same ancestral wisdom with living foods like raw, unpasteurized miso, I realize there’s room for both tradition and fermentation.
Miso offers a probiotic richness that nourishes the gut, while Amanita adds a grounding spirit that calms the nervous system. Together, they create something new—a sacred fusion of old-world immune support and modern energetic attunement.
🍲 Miso Soup with Amanita: A Fermented Ally for Gut & Spirit
Ingredients:
- 2 cups filtered water
- 1–2 tbsp raw, unpasteurized miso paste (white or red)
- Optional: sliced green onions, seaweed, mushrooms, tofu cubes
- 1–2 Amanita slurry ice cubes (add once soup cools slightly)
Instructions:
- Heat filtered water in a small pot—do not boil.
- Turn off heat once steaming hot (below 140°F is ideal).
- Stir in miso paste until fully dissolved.
- Add optional toppings if desired.
- Drop in your Amanita slurry cube(s).
- Sip slowly. Feel deeply.
🌿 Why Miso Is So Powerful
- Raw, unpasteurized miso is a living food—rich in probiotics that support gut flora, immunity, and digestion.
- Miso has been used in Japan for centuries as a protective food, even helping mitigate radiation damage in post-WWII Hiroshima.
- The umami flavor of miso pairs beautifully with Amanita’s earthy essence—making it a delicious AND functional delivery method.
🍄 Why Miso Matters (and What Most People Get Wrong)
Not all miso is created equal. Most packets in grocery stores are pasteurized, meaning the beneficial live cultures have been destroyed.
- Choose Raw, Unpasteurized Miso: This ensures you’re getting Lactobacillus and other probiotic strains that improve gut health, immune modulation, and even mood.
- Miso is a Fermented Food: Fermentation enhances the bioavailability of nutrients, including B vitamins, zinc, copper, and manganese.
- Best Not Boiled: Adding miso to very hot soup destroys its live cultures. That’s why you add it after the soup has cooled below 115°F.

✨ Closing Note: Sacred Nourishment Is a Choice
The world may sell healing in bottles and boxes, but true nourishment begins when you start asking, “What does my body truly need?”
When we slow down enough to listen—whether through a steaming bowl of grandma’s broth or a quiet cup of Amanita miso—we begin to remember:
Healing is not a destination. It’s a return.
A return to intuition, to presence.
and to the sacred act of feeding the soul.
May every bite you take be a whisper from your roots,
reminding you that the most powerful medicine is often the most ancient—
shared across generations, stirred into pots, passed hand to hand,
and offered in love.
With Love. Keep Thinking Beyond!
