Mushroom-Based Vegan Soups

Mushroom-Based Vegan Soups

Vegan soups made with mushrooms, asparagus, leek, and sea buckthorn contained compounds that block cholinesterase, an enzyme tied to memory and cognition. After simulated digestion, mushroom and asparagus soups boosted viability of healthy gut cells, while all soups reduced growth of colon cancer cells.
