Vitality Soup

White Flowers

     This soup contains turmeric, garlic, and plenty of vegetables to help you keep your immune system strong during the cold months. It can easily be adapted to be vegan without the chicken if you prefer. If you are pressed for time you can purchase cooked chicken and chopped or frozen veggies in your local grocery store to speed things up in the kitchen. This makes a decent sized batch so you'll be sure to have lots of leftovers too.
