A rich creamy soup, with spinach and mushrooms. Cloves in this recipe helps when someone has a sour throat or a running nose. Serve it hot with toasted bread.
Cloves are know for its Medicinal Purposes but if had in large amounts it could be Toxic too.
Toxicity - Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clove
Large amounts should be avoided in pregnancy. Cloves can be irritating to the gastrointestinal tract, and should be avoided by people with gastric ulcers, colitis, or irritable bowel syndrome. In overdoses, cloves can cause vomiting, nausea, diarrhea, and upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage. Severe cases can lead to changes in liver function, dyspnea, loss of consciousness, hallucination, and even death. The internal use of the essential oil should be restricted to 3 drops per day for an adult as excessive use can cause severe kidney damage.
