Sharing this Powerful Healing SOUP! Anytime is a good time for this delicious soup! Dear readers may recognize it as I have made it for many years, and usually have some in the freezer as a 'back up'. We are all busy so planning ahead can truly be the difference between 'nipping that cold virus' at the start or ... not.. If there is ONE functional food remedy that I recommend, after making it for 30+ years:
it's this recipe.
Take the TIME to make this!
My Powerful Healing Soup, as it has come to be known to friends, family and clients is a 'life-saver'. For those times when there is a 'vague malaise' or tell-tale 'whisper' of a symptom hovering nearby, this soup is a phenomenal healer ~ especially if eaten asap after symptoms show up!

Of course, you just know that I have a full winter herbal medicine chest ~ brimming with herbal remedies. I've written an eBook about ways to prevent and treat colds and flu. It's an important topic for winter health!

This SOUP, however is such a powerful ally, that here I am again, sharing it and encouraging a batch in your house.. soon!!

Here we go:

We had a soup very similar to this tonight, it was DELICIOUS! Next time I'm definitely adding horseradish, though...I love the heat it gives!

    HI Regina,
    I love lots of broth so I use at least 1 litre or about 4 cups. Hope you enjoy it!!

This soup looks so comforting. I love to have soups like this frozen during the winter.
