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.

Notes

TIPS
+ Avoid seasoning the dish, as the dry sun-dried tomatoes tend to be quite salty.
+ If you can’t source dry sun-dried tomatoes, use fresh tomatoes instead.
+ Ras el hanout is easy to find in most supermarkets. It’s a wonderful North African spice blend made with cinnamon, cardamom and coriander.
