TIPS

• Don’t Boil: Keep the broth at a gentle simmer to preserve collagen and beneficial compounds.
• Pre-Soak Nettle Leaves: A brief soak softens the leaves and reduces leaflet dust.
• Fresh Ginger Works Best: Grate fresh ginger to retain its zing and digestive enzymes.
• Add Parsley Off Heat: Incorporate parsley after simmering to maintain its colour and flavour.
• Adjust Salt To Taste: Start with less salt and add more after tasting to suit personal preferences.

VARIATIONS

• Vegan Alternative: Use vegetable broth instead of beef bone broth for a plant-based diet.
• Boost Protein: Add sliced chicken breast or a poached egg.
• Spice Variation: Include a pinch of turmeric or black pepper for added anti-inflammatory benefits.
• Herbal Mix: Substitute parsley with coriander or mint for different flavour notes.
• Detox Twist: Add a squeeze of lemon juice at the end for more cleansing support.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

• Fridge Storage: Allow the soup to cool, then store it in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
• Freezer Storage: Freeze without parsley; use freezer-safe containers and freeze for up to 2 months.
• Reheat: Warm gently over low heat, stirring to ensure even warming. Add fresh parsley just before serving.
