Here to help you fight cold season (both the weather and the viruses that come with it).
This comforting recipe is made in a crockpot and is so easy to throw together that I’ve made it for myself when I was feeling maybe 20%. And of course, this foolproof soup is Whole30 too!
So, how is it healing?
With superfood spices like ginger, turmeric and black pepper all combined with the benefits of bone broth, the common cold doesn’t stand a chance.
- Ginger- contains Gingerol which has powerful medicinal properties and can even help lower the risk of infections. Ginger is also anti-inflammatory and can reduce muscle soreness.
- Turmeric- like ginger, turmeric also contains powerful medicinal properties from the curcumin compound. Curcumin can help balance blood sugar and has potential to aid in many illnesses.
- Bone Broth- the amino acids and collagen in bone broth help is repairing gut lining. Our gut is home to over 70% of our immune system, so the stronger the better.
- Black pepper- boosts the absorption of nutrients, can promote gut health and may help relieve pain.
