Notes:
- Vegetarians can use vegetable stock in place of chicken stock and use organic silken tofu in place of the chicken to boost protein.
- Fresh turmeric is available from your local grocer. If using dry then only use 1/4 teaspoon but fresh is best for it’s anti-viral properties.
- Other vegetables can be added if you like such as shiitake mushroom, spinach, kale.
