Get better soup. Immune boosting and sinus-clearing soup made with ginger, turmeric, garlic, sweet potatoes, squash, and more.

I was feeling terrible today with a cold and all I wanted was the couch and some hot soup. I thought about making a miso soup or maybe a bean soup, but then I thought about packing in a bunch of veggies and adding some ingredients that help boost your immune system and clear out the sinuses. I started throwing in a bunch of ingredients and tweaked some things here and there, but it came together really quickly and I’m actually floored with the results. You have to make this soup!
