Clear Mild Vegetable Sipping Broth

When even pureed soups feel too thick or heavy against a raw throat, a completely clear, strained vegetable broth provides liquid comfort and essential electrolytes without requiring any digestive or oral strain.

Gentle for a sore mouth, nausea.

Ingredients

• 1 carrot, 1 celery stalk, 1/2 zucchini (all chopped large)
• 3 cups water
• A tiny pinch of salt

How to make it

1. Combine all chopped vegetables and water in a pot and bring to a boil.
2. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25 minutes to extract the nutrients.
3. Strain the liquid through a fine cloth or sieve, discarding the solid vegetables. Sip the clear liquid warm or cool.
