minutesThis 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.
Ingredients
1 inch piece ginger, peeled
1 inch piece turmeric, peeled
2 garlic cloves, peeled

1 large rib celery, sliced
4 oz mushrooms, sliced
1/2 head of green cabbage, sliced (could also use Napa or savoy cabbage)
1 green onion top, sliced
6 cups good quality chicken broth (I often use bone broth, and you could also use vegetable broth to make it vegan)
1-2 tbsp grapeseed oil, or other neutral flavored oil
Black pepper
Toasted sesame oil, for garnish (I prefer @latourangelle brand)
