2. Immunity Soup from @Sophia's Kitchen Therapy
Repost @sophiaskitchentherapy!
Starting by your diet, what you eat has a massive impact on your immune system. There are also certain foods that contain anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties. So I like to combine immune support plus anti-viral ingredients in all my meals currently.
This soup is so easy and it contains lots all of the above to keep you healthy. Ingredients:
- 2 tsp Ghee

- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tbsp turmeric
- Large piece of ginger
- 2 Birdseye chillies
Method:
Simply sauté the garlic, chilli and ginger in coconut oil/ ghee. Then add in the chopped veg and sauté for 5 mins. Add in the turmeric, S+P and mix. Pour over the bone broth and boil until veggies are soft and then blend!

Lightly salt and pepper ox tail and brown the meat on all sides in a oven pot
with tallow or grass fed butter over a high heat. Add rosemary and

wine to deglaze and keep heat high for 2 minutes before removing from the
