Do you dread the cold winter months that bring the winter blues? When the days are short, nights are long, and you're busy making sure all the holiday prep gets one and praying another strain of the flu doesn't ravage your Christmas plans?
Even if you love this time of year (I do!), it has its challenges. The lack of sunlight, combined with the fact that people are staying indoors together, fighting large crowds, and consuming higher than normal amounts of sugar can make the season an assault on the immune system. In order to keep those immune systems running strong in the face of such trials, it's important to nourish our bodies with health-boosting, anti-inflammatory foods.
Boost your immune system with this nourishing anti-inflammatory chicken soup! Packed with immune-supportive ingredients like turmeric, ginger, and thyme, and brightened with a touch of lemon, this soup is as flavorful as it is healing. Designed to combat inflammation, this wholesome dish helps your body stay resilient against germs while soothing your soul with its warm, aromatic broth. It's the perfect recipe for cold days or whenever you need a little extra wellness in your bowl!

*I divide the seasoning and add a little throughout the cooking process. I find this makes the flavor richer. In this recipe, that means the thyme, salt, and pepper.
*Due to medical reasons and personal preference, I use much more salt than I include in my recipes. Don't be afraid to play around with the amount of seasoning and lemon juice to suit your tastes.
