Five Element Vegetable Soup

You really have to go to the official web site to get the recipe and follow Dr. Kazu Tateishi’s directions
"The five elements are wood, fire, earth, metal and water. Because of the balance of the five elements, Heaven and Earth are able to provide life. These relate to the corresponding internal organs: liver, heart, spleen, lung and kidney. Dr. Tateishi used the essence of the five elements to formulate his vegetable broth. He used the concept of the five different colors as matched to specific vegetables" (from Dr. Kazu Tateishi Website).
Green: Daikon Radish Leaves
Red: Carrot
Yellow: Burdock Root
White: Daikon Radish
Black: Shitake Mushroom (Must be sun dried)
Only cook in Stainless steel pot and do not peel anything.
Our soup is made once a week and a jucier is used to extract the juices.
The juicer-Not recomended as it is a mess to clean. Watch the slide.

The Vegetables-Home Grown Daikons, Store Bought Organic Carrots and Burdock Roots

Pulp, juices from the roots, daikon leaves, shitake mushrooms and 3 litres water are added

Indeed from the pictures looks like a lot of hard work, but I am sure it is worth all the effort.
