Here’s the recipe that speeds up our family’s recovery. I hope that it helps yours too.

Suggestion: This freezes really well, so make extra and freeze it. That way you’ll have some ready to go next time you need it.

Baby Food Tip: Set some of the broth aside when you’re finished and use it to add vitamins and flavor to your favorite green vegetable purees for baby. They will love it and you will feel great watching them eat their healthy greens.
