This broth is the ultimate feel good food and is packed with health boosting ingredients such as ginger and garlic. It is best made with chicken stock made from a carcass but if you must use pre-made stock, go for an organic and low salt version.
Makes 4 flu-busting bowls
Ingredients
1.5 litre of chicken stock
2 chicken thighs or drumsticks
1 small onion (sliced)
1 small carrot (sliced)
Handful of spinach and peas
A couple of broccoli florets
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 tbsp minced ginger
½ a small red chilli (chopped finely)
3 bay leaves
A few sticks of spaghetti broken into inch pieces
Optional shredded greens such as kale, cabbage, sprouts
1 lemon to serve (optional)
Method:
Heat the stock and add the chicken, carrots and onion. Simmer for 15 minutes (skimming fat as it rises to the surface)
Add the rest of the ingredients and simmer for a further 25 minutes, adding the pasta and broccoli after 15 minutes.
Remove the hicken, shred it and add it back to the pot.
Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side (a great and healthier alternative to salt)
