Watercress and Apple Soup

Watercress is a member of the mustard family and there is evidence of its use dating back to the Persians, Greeks and Romans. It is believed that Roman emperors ate watercress to help them make bold decisions and they treated insanity with vinegar and watercress. Hippocrates grew wild watercress in the natural springs in the gardens of his hospital on Kos around 400 BCE. It was used to treat blood disorders.
