RECIPE: Soothing Chicken Soup

Nourishing, cooked foods are like a warm hug for the gut! This soothing soup supports the immune system which starts in the gut.

Ingredients:

• 1L (4 cups) bone broth (you can make your own or buy good quality store-bought)
• 2 skinless organic chicken breast fillets, cut into 3 cm cubes
• 1 knob (¼ cup) fresh ginger, peeled and grated
• 2 carrots, thinly diced
• 2 celery stalks, thinly diced
• 1 leek, halved, thinly sliced
• 100g cauliflower (grated or pulsed in a food processor until it resembles grains of rice)
• 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 tsp ground turmeric
• Pinch of salt and black pepper
• Large handful of chopped coriander leaves
• Greek or coconut yoghurt

Method:

1. Combine the broth and ginger in a saucepan over medium heat and bring to a simmer.
2. Add diced chicken, reduce the heat to low and cover with the lid to gently poach for 10 minutes.
3. Add the apple cider vinegar, turmeric and black pepper.
4. Add the carrots, celery, leek and cauliflower and cook for another 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
5. Serve with a garnish of coriander leaves and yoghurt.

Note: If you need more liquid in the soup, just use more bone broth or you can add boiling water as you go.
