  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

Fresh Ingredients

  • 1 piece garlic clove
  • 1 inch fresh ginger root
  • ½ inch fresh turmeric root (or 1 tsp dried turmeric powder)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro (optional)
  • Juice of ½ lime or lemon
  • Cilantro or other fresh greens for garnish

Liquids

  • 2½ cups water
  • 2½ cups broth (vegetable or chicken broth recommended)

Spices and Seasonings

  • 1 piece bay leaf
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • Pinch of salt (to taste)
  • ⅛ teaspoon grated nutmeg
  • 2-3 leaves sage (fresh or dried)
  • 5 whole juniper berries

Instructions

  1. Prep Fresh Ingredients: Peel the garlic clove and chop it roughly. Cut the ginger and turmeric roots into rough pieces. If using turmeric powder, measure 1 teaspoon and set aside.
  2. Pour Water and Broth into Pot: Pour 2½ cups of water and 2½ cups of broth into a small soup pot. Place the pot on the stove and heat over medium heat.
  3. Add Ginger, Garlic, and Turmeric: Add the chopped ginger, garlic, and turmeric (fresh pieces or powder) into the pot with the liquids.
  4. Season the Broth: Add the bay leaf, ground black pepper, pinch of salt, grated nutmeg, sage leaves, and whole juniper berries to the pot.
  5. Stir in Cilantro (Optional): If desired, stir in 1 tablespoon of fresh cilantro for added flavor and aroma.
  6. Simmer the Soup: Reduce the heat to medium-low and cover the pot. Let the broth simmer gently for 12 to 15 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
  7. Add Lime or Lemon Juice: Once done simmering, remove the pot from heat and stir in the juice of half a lime or lemon.
  8. Strain the Soup: Pour the soup through a large strainer or sieve to remove solids and obtain a clear broth.
  9. Serve: Return the strained soup to heat if desired and serve hot in bowls. Garnish with fresh herbs like cilantro, parsley, or chives for an extra touch of freshness.

Notes

  • You can use either vegetable or chicken broth depending on dietary preference.
  • If fresh turmeric root is unavailable, substitute with 1 teaspoon turmeric powder.
  • Adjust salt to taste after simmering for best flavor.
  • The juniper berries add a unique aromatic note; if unavailable, you can omit them.
  • This soup is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored refrigerated for up to 2 days.
