Warm up your winter: Ginger soup boosts health and flavor

Winter is the season when warming soups are more valuable than gold. Chicken broth is perfect for this, but the first freezing temperatures always prompt me to reach for another recipe — one for ginger soup. Thick, hot, healthy, and unbelievably delicious are the words I use to describe this exceptional dish without any hesitation.

It's clear that ginger soup, the recipe for which you'll find below, is a tasty meal and an incredible support for the body. This is especially needed during the cold season when colds are rampant. Ginger and its wonderful properties warm us from the inside and protect us against germs, and adding turmeric and chili only enhances these features. I don't know what else could if this doesn't encourage you to prepare this soup. You'll find the simple recipe below. Winter and sickness stand no chance!

Ingredients:

• 3 quarts of chicken or vegetable broth (strained)
• 2 carrots
• 2 potatoes
• A small piece of celery
• 1 large onion
• A small piece of ginger
• Parsley leaves
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 2 ounces of 18% cream
• Ground chili
• Turmeric
• Salt
• Pepper

Preparation method:

1. Peel and cut the celery, carrots, and potatoes into smaller pieces. Do the same with the ginger — I recommend using a spoon for peeling.
2. Heat the broth with the vegetables and cook until they are soft.
3. Chop the onion and sauté it in butter, and finely chop the parsley leaves.
4. Add these ingredients to the soup, and season to taste with chili, turmeric, salt, and pepper.
5. Finally, blend with the addition of sesame oil and cream. Ready!

I serve the ginger soup hot, garnished with pumpkin seeds and chives.
