Super Mineral Broth Recipe - Natural Immune Booster

A number of years ago, I discovered Magic Mineral Broth in a cookbook titled The Longevity Kitchen by Rebecca Katz.  I loved the idea of using actual vegetables in a broth to give my body the minerals it needed instead of turning to a bottle of vitamins.My take on this broth is a bit different than the original recipe.  I like adding in ginger and turmeric.  And by all means - make this broth your own too by using the vegetables, herbs, and spices that you like best.

Notes

Do not peel the fresh produce for your mineral broth. Many of the nutrients are found in the skin. You should scrub them well before cooking.
Do not discard the vegetables.  Remove the kombu, bay leaf, ginger, and turmeric from the pot. Process the remaining solids through a food mill to create a creamy mineral-rich soup.
Store your broth in the fridge for up to five days. For longer storage, you can freeze it for up to four months. Be sure to wait until the broth is fully cooled to store.
Feel free to change up any of the vegetables to use produce you have on hand or from your garden. The key to a mineral rich broth is making sure you have a wide variety of vegetables.
