Power-Up Bone Broth Soup
Bone broth is rich in amino acids (the building blocks of protein) and easily absorbable minerals. When fatigue makes chewing a meal feel like a chore, sipping this warm liquid delivers hydration and nutrients without overtaxing the digestive system.
Gentle for fatigue, low appetite.
Ingredients
- 4 cups high-quality chicken or beef bone broth
- 1 cup carrots, sliced ultra-thin
- 1/2 cup silken tofu, cubed (for soft protein)
- 1 tsp turmeric powder
- A pinch of black pepper (helps activate the turmeric)
How to make it
- In a medium pot, bring the bone broth, sliced carrots, turmeric, and black pepper to a gentle boil.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 20–25 minutes until the carrots are incredibly soft.
- Gently fold in the silken tofu cubes and let them warm through for another 3 minutes.
- Allow it to cool to a warm, comfortable temperature before serving.
