Winter Fitness: 20 Min Healing Ginger Chicken Broth – Your Antidote to Thaw You Out NOW

0

Goodness – I feel rock frozen in NYC.  It’s enough to slather a bit of coconut oil and hang out  at my local Bikram shop all day, except that would mean I’d happy to refold myself back into layers which I will not do.

When it gets darn frigid out and my body and bones feel brittle, I whip out my trusted Fagor for a little broth action (Unlike the stove top picture – it’s electric & child locked ).  Mine’s got 3 modes:  Pressure, Slow and Rice.  Given how precious NYC real estate is – including kitchen counter space, I am loving this equipment.  Easy Cook and Easy Clean.

While I generally love to simmer my soups and let my veggies melt away lovingly and tenderly like the times of Laura Ingalls  - I was impatient to thaw myself out  and nourish myself with some healing ginger, onions/garlic and collagen-ful chicken bones*.

Yes – Food as Nourishment, Food as Medicine.  Two in One.  I love efficacy !

My Healing Broth is lovely as is –  I pour in a tea cup and sip away for instant warmth.  Or you can use it as a base for any recipe that calls for vegetable or chicken broth.

Nothing beats the chills, the cold, the flu like homemade soupiness – so here’s a WARM cheers to you

ZippyT Fit 20 minute Healing Chicken/Veggie Broth 

1 Onion (peeled / cut in 1/2)

1 knob of Ginger  (sliced) – You can omit Ginger if you don’t want it Plain, rather than Asian.

3 cloves of Garlic

Stray Vegetables – I found scallions & baby carrots in my Bin.

2 C Water

1 pack of Chicken Thighs (or Wings/Neck/Back)

Pressure Cooker Instruction**: 

Dump all above in a Pressure Cooker.  High for 20 minutes.  Presto Prompto – Ladle Away.  You will need to adjust with added Salt to your personal taste.

If stovetop, it will just take a little bit longer.  Boil pot of water and dump all ingredients – and then bring down to Simmer/Low for 45 minutes to 1 hour.   If you’re using Chicken, I would skim the scum  occasionally so you have pretty broth.

Optional Recipe:  ZippyT Fit  Spinach & Mung Bean Soup

1 C of Chopped Spinach

1/2 C of Mung Beans

1 C of Healing Broth (above)

In a bowl, place Chicken & Mungbean.  Add hot broth — and adjust seasoning with Salt & Pepper.

*You can omit the chicken bones entirely if you are veggie or don’t have a stack of carcasses ziploc frozen in your freezer.
