Ginger-Turmeric Bone Broth With Greens

This recipe is perfect way to give the body a jolt of color, flavor, and nutrients. I like it with arugula and parsley.

This is really delicious and perfect for getting over a nasty bug. Added a lot of lemon. Used a mix of fresh and dried turmeric. I didn't add garlic bc it upset my stomach, but I'm sure it would be better with garlic. Added some leftover matzoh balls for serving when I made it for lunch and added leftover rice to the rest for leftovers. I could see adding all sorts of things to this in the future. Yum!

Delicious! My husband used fresh turmeric root and, after reading other comments, ground black pepper in it also.

Used this for a respiratory cold coming on and during the time of depleted energy. I used fresh grated turmeric (about 2 teaspoons ~ 1inch) that adds a nice depth to the undertone taste (not a spicy hot one that some ground dried turmeric selections have) and then a few peppercorns. I added a shake of lemon-pepper at the end. Soon, when feeling better, I might add ramen noodles for a more substantial soup time. And oyster crackers! (Beware the turmeric coloring + stain !)

I liked it, but not the kids

Great flavor profile. It’s a great way to add turmeric to your diet since it mixes well in the broth. So easy - I just cooked it a little longer with the greens since I used beet greens and I prefer them a little softer.

Followed another's suggestion and sauteed a few cremini mushrooms with the garlic before adding the broth. I had fresh turmeric from the farm stand and grated about 1tsp each of turmeric and ginger and added to only 8 oz of broth, so the flavors were really strong, and I LOVED it. Healthful comfort food!

Yes the freshly ground black pepper is necessary for the anti-inflammatory effects of turmeric but also remember turmeric was where the Indians got such vivid & deep yellows for their paints & stains! Stainless & glass are impervious but anything else touched w'turmeric & not cleaned up immediately will be as permanently stained as if you'd used a yellow permanent marker! I have the once white counter top to prove this fact!

Question: did you add the garlic and ginger during the simmering time? Or after simmering to steep off the heat for a few minutes? Just curious how others interpreted the directions. I made this without the greens to have a broth for sipping from a mug, but also think this could be a great base for adding veggies, small bits of tofu, etc for something heartier.

This was so simple, so delish! And I used frozen spinach, which I lightly microwaved, then drained. Love when such simplicity tastes so good. Thank you!

Using fresh tumeric is more powerful and healing. Peel, chop and simmer along with ginger.

Added some diced onion for texture and used two garlic cloves and 1.5 inches grated ginger to the chicken broth. Baby spinach and broccoli rabe greens. Used lime juice instead of lemon. Truly delicious and very healthy.
