- Prep time
- Total Time
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 2 cups sliced mushrooms (~8-ounce package)
• 2 cups baby carrots
• 1 red bell pepper, roughly cut into small pieces
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ¼ teaspoon ginger powder
• ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder + pinch ground black pepper
• ¼ teaspoon oregano
Add all ingredients to a large pot and boil for 20 minutes (or until veggies are fork-tender). Purée in a blender or use an immersion blender in the pot. Season with salt to taste. Serve immediately or stash in fridge and warm a mug in the microwave as needed. Alternatively, you can prep the recipe ahead of time, then freeze individual portions in an ice cube tray. Whenever you need a soothing sip, simply add a couple of cubes to a mug and warm as needed.
