This mineral-rich vegetable broth contains all the soothing and soul-warming herbs that your throat (and the rest of your body) need to heal, rejuvenate, and restore itself after the flu. Ginger and turmeric calm inflammation, while parsley, thyme, and oregano contain powerful antiviral properties. Onions and garlic clear mucus out of nasal cavities and respiratory pathways and are also potent antivirals. You can make this broth ahead of time and freeze it for when you’re too sick to cook. Being prepared for these situations is always your best bet.
3 carrots, chopped
1 sweet potato, cubed
4 stalks celery, chopped
3 red onions, chopped
1 cup parsley, cleaned and finely chopped
4 Roma tomatoes, chopped
8–10 cloves garlic, minced or 8-10 cubes Gefen Frozen Garlic
1–2 inches ginger root
1–2 inches turmeric root
1 heaping tablespoon dried thyme
1 heaping tablespoon dried oregano, such as Gefen
10 cups water
In a large stock pot, combine carrots, sweet potato, celery, onions, parsley, tomatoes, garlic, ginger, turmeric, thyme, oregano, and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for one and a half hours.
Strain, reserving veggies for another use, and sip the broth throughout the day. Alternatively, leave the veggies in and serve as a soup.
