Immunity Boosting Broth, our version
When either of us starts to feel a little under the weather, we turn to food to bring us back to our norm. Through a combination of juicing, blending and just eating good, wholesome foods like broths and soups, we mange to kick the crud out of the house. At any given time, we have many quarts of Magic Mineral Broth, the awesome base broth from Rebecca Katz’s cookbook The Cancer-Fighting Kitchen (see her page https://www.facebook.com/Rebecca-Ka…) and we use it often for soups, stews, cooking vegetables and greens and so on. But, we really love Tom Yum Thai soup for a healing and cleansing soup. To make our version of an immunity boosting broth, we offer you this recipe.
2 to 3 quarts of Magic Mineral Broth or other organic vegetable stock (http://www.rebeccakatz.com/magic-mi…)
In a medium stockpot, add to the above stock:
4 smashed, but unpeeled garlic cloves
2 to 3 entire stalks of lemongrass, cut on the bias into one inch pieces
2 inches slices ginger, peel on
8-10 pieces of cilantro, stems and leaves intact
1-2 Bird’s eye chilies with seeds, cut in half
Bring to a gentle boil for 10 minutes. Reduce heat and simmer 30 to 45 minutes. Pour into cup, leaving solids in the pot to continue to add flavor. Add a dash of organic tamari for some salty goodness and a squeeze of 1/4 of a lime for vitamin C and acidity. Drink and enjoy. I promise, this will create a cleansing moment or two fairly rapidly.
