Ugh, I seem to be fighting off a seasonal cold this week so last night I slept with the diffuser on full blast filled with my Breath Easy blend. But I could really use a big batch of this detoxing chicken soup. Not only is chicken noodle soup the cure all for sickness, but this one is chock full of immune-boosting ingredients like turmeric, curry powder and fresh ginger. I also added fresh broccoli for it’s antioxidant power kick.
The turmeric and curry powder give the soup it’s intense golden hue, but also provide a rich, earthy flavor. With the use of a rotisserie chicken and a few simple ingredients, this soup whips up fast and yields a ton of leftovers for lunch throughout the week. I love to make this on Sunday and then eat on it all week long.
