Thyme & Ginger Comfort Soup

I always recommend broths and soups for patients and colleagues during a viral illness such as the flu. Soups are a great way to introduce micronutrie...nts to support your body’s defences when you’re not feeling strong enough to make a complicated meal or you lack appetite. My inclination is always to make a turmeric and chilli ‘medicinal broth’ like the one in my first book, however it’s not always to everyone’s taste. This is a more lightly spiced version, with thyme and ginger as the central antiviral ingredients. You’ll love the mellow flavours in this and it’s sure to comfort when you’re feeling poorly.
