TIPS

Here are some helpful tips for Cilantro Lime Bone Broth Soup:

• Add Lime Off‑Heat: Stir in lime juice after removing from the Heat to maintain fresh citrus notes.
• Use Soft Spinach: Baby spinach wilts quickly and retains a gentle texture.
• Fresh Coriander Counts: Finely chop coriander for even distribution of flavour.
• Adjust Heat Carefully: Start with a small pinch of cayenne, so it’s easy to increase, but hard to cool down.
• Enhance Depth: A tiny drizzle of olive oil or coconut oil on the serving adds mouthfeel without overpowering.

VARIATIONS

• Vegan Variation: Substitute vegetable broth and add cooked chickpeas or tofu cubes.
• Protein Add-On: Include shredded chicken or a soft‑poached egg for more protein.
• Greens Swap: Use baby kale or Swiss chard instead of spinach for a different texture and nutrients.
• Herb Mix: Add mint or basil with coriander for extra herbal brightness.
• Comfort Twist: Add grated ginger or a garlic clove for an immune-boosting layer.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

• Fridge Storage: Cool completely and store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
• Freezer Storage: Best frozen without lime or coriander, freeze in portioned containers for up to 2 months and add fresh ingredients after reheating.
• Reheating Instructions: Warm gently over low Heat and stir in lime juice and coriander after heating to retain vibrant flavours.
