Sipping on this 10 Minute Immune Boosting Broth is an easy and delicious way to stay healthy! Packed with garlic, ginger, turmeric, and miso!
Sipping our way to better health never tasted so good!
This Immune Boosting Broth is full of garlic, miso, ginger, and scallions giving it a subtle salty Asian flavor that is impossible to resist. And while most broth recipes take hours to simmer, you can be sipping on a cup of this health-boosting broth in just 10 minutes.
Miso is the salty bean paste that makes up the base of the broth, and boy, does it pack some health benefits. Since miso is fermented, it is loaded with gut-boosting probiotics. And since 70% of our immune system is housed in our gut, proper gut health leads to overall health.
To add flavor to our Immune Boosting Broth, we reach for fresh ginger. This spicy root, which has been used in Eastern medicine for centuries, imparts more than just flavor. As a natural anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, and inflimation reducer, it is a tripple threat in fighting colds, flus and more.
Each cup of Immune Boosting Broth has one full clove of garlic to help banish your cold for good! With its ant-viral, anti-microbial, and anti-fungal properties, no matter what ails you, garlic is sure to help.
Horseradish spices up our Immune Boosting Broth with its natural heat and immune boosting properties. It contains a high amount of vitamin C and helps clear our sinus congestion due to its spicy flavor. Since fresh horseradish root can be hard to find, you can replace this with a pinch or two of cayenne pepper to taste.
Our Immune Boosting Broth gets its golden hue and extra health benefits from turmeric powder. This well known spice is a potent anti-inflammatory that can also help reduce pain - a major plus when dealing with body aches associated with being sick.
While our Immune Boosting Broth is great for reducing symptoms of the cold and flu, it is also a great addition to your diet anytime. All of these ingredients help boost your immune system. Which will keep you from getting sick in the first place. Plus, with its killer flavor, you'll want to sip this light broth day in and out.
It is the perfect warming drink to sip right out of a mug, but is also a great broth base for all kinds of soups! I love adding a melange of veggies, some noodles, and tofu for a filling meal.

" it is loaded with gut-boosting probiotics." a lot of good that does after you boil them to their
death, not immune boosting any more
Laurel says
That's exactly why the miso - which is where the probiotics are all at - is added at the very end and not boiled. Still loaded with gut-boosting probiotics :)
Danielle says
Did you even read the directions? Even if you didn’t, does that mean you think soups are unhealthy?
Grace says
Made this today for my family..so comforting and for the person who left above. Comment about boiling she apparently has a reading comprehension problem
Thank you Laurel
Laurel says
Hi Grace! So glad to hear your family enjoyed it :)
Gina says
Hi there! We loved the taste of this and made a ton! How long would you say it is safe to store in the fridge?
Laurel Perry says
Hi Gina! It should keep for 3-5 days in the fridge. You can also freeze it for up to 3 months. Enjoy!
Jeannie says
This sounds great. Can I use prepared horseradish in the jar, if I can't find fresh?
Laurel Perry says
Hi Jeannie! If you can find jarred horseradish that doesn't have any additives, etc. I would go for it! Otherwise, I would omit it - it will still be very immune boosting!
Terri says
This is delicious! I'm doing a short stint of alternate day fasting and just drinking bone broth on my fasting days, but will be adding in this broth, even on nonfasting days!
