Immune Boosting Chicken and Turmeric Soup

Immune Boosting Chicken and Turmeric Soup

With winter on the way, this soup is a great way to boost your immune system and get ready for winter. The turmeric, chicken bones, fresh herbs, ginger and garlic all have amazing anti-inflammatory and flu fighting properties. The addition of a tablespoon of Love My Earth Organic Tandoori Masala Curry Mix will give it an extra flavour punch and a hit of chilli if you like it hot.

  • 2 tablespoons finely grated ginger

Preparation

  1. Combine the garlic, turmeric, ginger, stock, parsley water and chicken into a large pot.
  2. Simmer for 30 minutes or longer (if you can over a low heat) until chicken is cooked through and flavours have infused into the stock.
  3. The chicken meat should start to pull away from bone.
