It’s that time of year again – cold and flu season! My whole house is sick and when that happens, my go-to recipe is this immune boosting chicken soup with turmeric. It’s so tasty and so easy to make, that’s why I like it, it’s so easy and when I’m under the weather I can whip it up quickly cause moms don’t get a sick day!! All you need in carrots, celery, onion, ginger and garlic, season it with salt, pepper and turmeric, add fresh chicken to the pot with bone broth or chicken broth and let is all cook together. I like to add coconut milk at the end, but that’s always optional. I also use sweet potato noodles in mine, but you can use any noodles you like!
IMMUNE BOOSTING CHICKEN SOUP WITH TURMERIC
Description
My immune boosting chicken soup made with bone broth and turmeric, perfect for cold & flu season.
Ingredients:
Steps:
-
Heat a little oil (about 1-2 tablespoons) in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion, celery, and carrots. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until softened.
-
Add in the chicken thighs.
-
Then add the minced ginger and garlic.
-
Season with salt, pepper and turmeric. I don't have quantities for these because I just follow my heart, but you only need a bit of turmeric cause it can be overpowering if you use too much!
-
Add the bone broth or chicken broth, mix, cover and let simmer for about half an hour or until chicken is cooked through.
-
Add in the coconut milk and stir and let simmer another 5-10 minutes.
-
I use sweet potato noodles in mine, but you can add whatever noodles you like! I also like to shred up the chicken.
