My Go-To Healing Broth for Chemo and Radiation RecoveryMy Go-To Healing Broth for Chemo and Radiation Recovery
This broth is packed with anti-inflammatory ingredients, making it an excellent base for soups or a nourishing broth on its own.
Ingredients:
 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
 2 large yellow onions, chopped (skins left on for color)
 4 carrots, chopped
 4 stalks celery, chopped
 1 tbsp turmeric powder (or 2 inches fresh turmeric, sliced)
 1 tbsp ginger (or 2 inches fresh)
 1 bunch fresh parsley
 1 tsp whole black peppercorns
 2 bay leaves
 12 cups filtered or spring water
 2 dried shiitake mushrooms (for umami)
Instructions:
1. Sauté: Heat the olive oil in a large stockpot over medium heat. Add the onions, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 8–10 minutes until they begin to brown slightly, which builds the base flavor.
2. Aromatics: Add the turmeric, ginger, peppercorns, bay leaves, and mushrooms. Stir for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Simmer: Add the water and parsley. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 45–60 minutes.
4. Strain: Remove from heat and strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl or storage containers, pressing on the solids to extract all the liquid.
5. Store: Let it cool completely before refrigerating for up to 5 days or freezing for up to 3 months.
