Ingredients:
- 2 cups coconut milk (or any milk of your choice, like almond or oat milk)
- one tablespoon turmeric powder (preferably organic)
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
- one teaspoon ground black pepper (helps absorb turmeric’s curcumin)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
- one tablespoon honey or maple syrup (for sweetness)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin (optional, for extra flavor)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (or olive oil)
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt (adjust to taste)
- 1 garlic clove, minced (optional, boosts immunity)
- 1/2 cup vegetable broth (for a savory base)
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley (for garnish)
Recipe for Immune-Boosting Milk Soup:
-
Prepare the base: In a medium saucepan, add coconut oil and heat it over medium heat. Once it’s melted, add the minced garlic (if using) and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
-
Add the spices: Stir in the turmeric powder, ground black pepper, cinnamon, cumin, and ginger. Let the spices toast for about 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
-
Mix in liquids: Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable broth, stirring well to combine all ingredients. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, but don’t let it boil. Allow it to cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
-
Sweeten and season: Add honey (or maple syrup) and sea salt to taste. Stir until the sweetness and salt are evenly distributed.
-
Blend (optional): If you prefer a smoother texture, use an immersion blender directly in the saucepan to blend everything until creamy. Alternatively, you can transfer it to a blender and pulse until smooth.
-
Serve: Ladle the warm soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley for a vibrant touch.
-
Enjoy: Sip and savor this golden, immune-boosting delight as it warms you up and nourishes your body.
