Daily Immunity Elixir
When you feel a cold coming on (or everyone around you is getting sick), this elixir is the cozy, nourishing recipe to reach for.
Ingredients
- 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
- Pumpkin seeds, for garnish
Instructions
- 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. Garnish with pumpkin seeds if desired.
Notes
This recipe makes about 4.5 cups of elixir, so there's plenty to enjoy. While I originally created it to be sipped in a mugful format, there’s no limit to how much you can have—feel free to savor it as a large steamy soup, even going back for seconds. The more, the merrier—its soothing goodness knows no bounds!
