This is the soup I make for myself when I am under the weather. This recipe is quick and to the point because when you’re sick, who has time for heavy labor? It also only makes 3-4 servings because when I’m sick, all the others in my household need to fend for themselves.

To make life easier on myself, I use a microplane grater to grate the turmeric, ginger and garlic, which is much faster than using my knife or a food processor (which would be impractical for this small a quantity).

And, as you well know, fresh turmeric will stain everything it touches, so I typically grate it onto a small piece of parchment paper so my cutting board stays white.

Also, this soup is gluten free, dairy free, and can also be made vegan by substituting vegetable broth for the chicken broth.

Also, I prefer to use bone broth when possible, because GUT HEALTH! I am no expert, but every year it seems more studies emerge discussing how majorly our gut bioflora factor into our overall health.
