Immune Boosting Soup Recipe

Monday, October 5th, 2009

An Immune Boosting Soup Recipe is the solution to so many additives in processed and prepackaged foods. This is how can you avoid things like MSG and other potentially toxic chemicals in store bought foods. If you grow these in your garden, you have even more reason to enjoy.

The underlying issue is the additive. So make your own from fresh foods and avoid the risk.
The solution is an immune boosting soup recipe.

Here is one of my favorite recipes for an immune boosting soup. It is a vegetable soup recipe or a vegetable broth recipe depending on how you use it. In all, it is a healthy cooking recipe.

Vegetable Soup or Vegetable Broth

2 leaks
1 dried bay leaf
4 sprigs of parsley
1/2 teaspoon thyme
a pinch of fennel seed
2 stalks of chopped celery
1 garlic clove chopped into small pieces
2 small to medium onions chopped into small pieces

1 1/2 quarts of filtered water

If you do not have access to filtered water, just boil it and then let it stand over night to be used the next day. This will allow most of the chlorine to evaporate out of the water.

Mix all in a pan and bring to a boil. Then simmer for 45 minutes with the lid on.

This can be eaten two ways.

Drain and discard the vegetables and you will have vegetable broth.

Since the majority of the nutrients are in the water, if you like, you can have a bowl of vegetable soup, with the vegetables serving as fiber. Cut the vegetables according to how they will be used.

If not eaten, it will have to be refrigerated of frozen for future use.

If you use salt, only use sea salt.
