The Low Down

Not only do mushrooms reduce your risk of breast cancer by 64%, which is kind of huge, but the method used in this recipe provides you with extra  cancer fighting properties. 

The trick here is that you are blending the veggies when they are raw (or frozen).  Blending them or even just chewing veggies really well when raw, breaks down the cell wall of the plants and creates anti-cancer compounds.  So blend first, then heat it up as a soup, instead of the other way around and you'll have the best anti-cancer food. 

Miso paste, has essential probiotics.  Even though you add these into warm soup, it's been proven that miso has some wonderful health benefits.
