World Amazing Immune Boosting Soup

Feeling under the weather? Kick that cold, flu, or corona to the curb with the ultimate immune-boosting soup. Packed full of vitamins and minerals from delicious ingredients like turmeric, kale and bok choy in a mushroom broth for a healthy vegetarian soup recipe.

I honestly believe in the healing power of food. No truer statement has ever been shared than when Hippocretes wrote “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food”. When I’m starting to or are feeling under the weather, my first thought is to turn to my kitchen, not the medicine cabinet.

You’ll Need:

• 1 T coconut oil
• 1 large yellow onion, chopped
• 6 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 celery stalks, sliced
• 1 lb shitake mushrooms
• 1 1/2 tsp sea salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp turmeric
• 12 cups water
• 4 heads baby bok choy, bottoms chopped off
• 1/2 head kale, chopped
• optional: 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger

Instructions:

1. Chop off the bottom of the stem from your mushrooms and discard. Seperate stems from tops and slice tops and remaining stem if necessary, into large pieces. You will only discard the very bottom of the stems, not the full stems as they contain many nutritional benefits!
2. Heat up coconut oil in a large pot over medium heat.
3. Add onions and sauté for 5 minutes or until translucent.
4. Add in garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
5. Add in celery and mushrooms and sautee for about 10 minutes or until mushrooms have wilted.
6. Add in spices (including ginger, if using) and water and bring to a boil.
7. Then let simmer, covered for 1 hour or as long as you want (the longer you leave, the better!)
8. Add bok choy and kale in the last 10 minutes of cooking to wilt.
9. Serve warm or store for up to 1 week in the refrigerator.
