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.
