Immune Boosting Turmeric-Ginger Chicken Broth
"Warming and soothing, this delicious soup offers antioxidant and anti-inflammatory support from the turmeric, ginger and garlic, providing immunity benefits with every sip. The nourishing bone broth and fibre content give powerful yet gentle support for the digestive tract, and the abundance of protein supports muscle repair and steady energy. This soup is also rich in vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant that supports collagen production for healthy skin, joints and bones. If you prefer a thick, smooth soup, simply blend the ingredients with a stick blender before or after adding the chicken," says nutritional therapist Alexa Mullane.
