Longevity Soup  A Soup Base to build Strength and Peak Performance

Happy Herbalist 's LONGEVITY SOUP HERBS Use this as a Soup Base (Stock) for soups, noodles or rice.
 

Ingredients:
Huang Qi, Gou Qi Zi, Da Zao, Shan Yao, American Ginseng. Dried
Ginger, and Dried Kombucha.



Longevity Soup:
Choose either
1-2 full slabs of Organic Pork (or Beef) Ribs
or 1 Whole Stewing Chicken (Organic)

Wrap your choice in a towel, paper bag, or use the paper it came. This is
to prevent pieces from flying about as you break the bones by hitting
with a hammer. You’re breaking the bones especially the ends. This helps
release the marrow when you cook. You may choose to remove the meat prior
to applying the hammer. All that’s really needed here is a very small
amount of meat. However Do not remove any of the cartilage – the white
hard grizzle stuff. This is what you really want to be there.

Add ˝ cup of Kombucha Vinegar that you’ve aged. If you already drank all
your Kombucha Brew you can substitute 4 tablespoons (@ ˝ good shot) of
vinegar.
Add all to a very large pot of pure water.

Bring to a boil

Skim off the foamy stuff

Add about 6 slices of fresh ginger

Continue to cook for about 2 hours.

Allow to cool remove any additional foam and when cool remove any fat
floating on the top. This depends on the amount of meat/fat you started
with. With all bones there’s relatively little foam or fat to remove.

Add more pure water.

Add 2 pounds of Soy Bean Sprouts bring to a boil, reduce the heat slightly
and continue simmering.

After one hour
Add Selected Herbs and Spices.
May vary to individual conditions.

If you just wanna be plain mean, wait for a Full Moon and ran outside by
yourself and give the moon a good howl.

If you’re just building strength and endurance
Add: a handful each of Huang Qi and Gou Qi Zi, about 5 or 6 Da Zao,
and a couple of pieces of Shan Yao and a few pieces of American Ginseng.
Toss in a few more pieces of Ginger for taste.

Be sure to leave the Huang Qi whole and if possible obtain the longer
larger pieces. Do not add any small pieces or the dust. Huang Qi is not
very tasty or chewy. All the other herbs are OK to leave in and are
edible. Except of course the Da Zao pits.

Continue to cook another hour and a half. Use high heat But Do Not Boil or near boil. Just simmer.

Remove the Huang Qi and discard.

The American Ginseng (expensive) can be left in or removed. If removed,
while the Ginseng is still hot dip in honey and then allow to cool. This
is an excellent power boost.

Allow to cool.
Remove any bones and fat. Remove any unwanted herbs.

Drink two bowls each day. One in the morning after breakfast, and one in
the afternoon after a workout or exercise.

Use this as a Soup Base (Stock) for soups, noodles or rice.
Add vegetables, potatoes, meats, herbs, spices as desired.
