This plant-based Health Booster Soup is based on a popular recipe for Virus Killing Soup. That one starts with a whole chicken and it’s got amazing flavor!
I wanted to bring all the elements of that delicious soup and make it plant-based.
This version tastes fantastic and has the same warming, healing feel that the original does.
Don’t worry about the amount of garlic being too strong. It really isn’t when the soup is done and it really smells fantastic while it cooks. Don’t worry about the cayenne pepper either. It provides warmth that will clear your sinuses, but it’s not spicy at all.
