Hippocrates Soup
This soup is one of the foundations of the Gerson diet, and is thought to be particularly healing and nourishing. It is made without salt, though you may wish to add some if not following the diet strictly. In addition, spices that are high in aromatic acids and considered likely to counteract the healing reaction are omitted.
Yield
6-8 servings
