Cold weather + the end of the year = SAD. What better way to beat the winter blues (and seasonal affective disorder) than with a hearty bowl of magic mushroom soup.

Warm belly, great vibes, what's not to love? This psilocybin soup tastes like magic.

Magic Tip: Take this winter warmer to the next level and make it even heartier by throwing in cooked rice or quinoa just before serving.
