Revitalize winter meals with a savoury ginger broth soup

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

It seems obvious that ginger soup, the recipe for which you'll find below, is not only a tasty meal but also an incredible support for the body, especially during the cold season when colds are rampant. Ginger and its wonderful properties warm us from the inside and protect against germs. The addition of turmeric and chili only enhances these features. If this doesn't encourage you to prepare this soup, I'm not sure what will. Find the simple recipe below. Winter and sickness stand no chance!

Ingredients:

• About 3 litres 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 of butter,
• 1 tablespoon of sesame oil,
• 50 ml 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 – in this case, I recommend using a spoon for peeling.
2. Heat the broth along with the mentioned vegetables and cook until they become soft.
3. Chop the onion and sauté it in butter, and finely chop the parsley leaves.
4. Add these ingredients to the soup, seasoning to taste with chili, turmeric, salt, and pepper.
5. Finally, blend with the addition of sesame oil and cream. And there you have it!

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