This soup is perfect for this season of viruses going around. It's hearty and packed with herbs and cold busting ingredients and at the same time it's so delicious too! I like to add a pinch if cayenne to my individual bowl after serving as it helps with congestion clear up too 😉

½ tspginger

½ tspturmeric

1 tspsalt

1 tsppepper

1 tspcayenne pepper

optional

Instructions

Step 1

Heat up oil in a large pot and add chicken, herbs and spices and all vegetables. Mix well and sautee.

Step 2

Once mixed add chicken stock to the pot and bring to a boil. Once boiling cover and lower the heat allowing it to simmer for 20 minutes.

Step 3

While it's simmering, an optional tip is to toast the pasta in olive oil before adding it to the pot, this prevents the pasta from becoming too soggy after a while, but if you don't mind the soggy pasta feel free to add it in as is directly from it's package.

Step 4

Uncover the pot and add in pasta and allow it to boil for an additional 10 minutes.

Step 5

Once all is cooked, add parsley and cilantro to the pot leaving some out to garnish individual bowls.

Step 6

Squeeze lemon juice into your bowl and enjoy!
