Healing Egg Drop Soup

One of my favorite things to have for dinner is a light soup. To me, it doesn't matter if its 8 or 80 degrees outside, I crave a warm dish to keep me cozy at home. Having soup for dinner also allows for my body to easily digest my dinner before bed, so that I don't wake up feeling overly full or bloated.

This soup has so many healing benefits and is a great option for when you're feeling a cold coming on, inflamed from eating too much junk food, to help alleviate sinus pressure, cramps and many other uncomfortable situations. The bone broth is also great for your gut health and helps with digestive issues. Not to mention the anti-inflammatory benefits from the ginger and turmeric!

This soup is very versatile and you can add in anything you want. I kept it traditional with asian inspired vegetables, but a few other options can be kale, broccoli, snap peas, carrots, cabbage, spinach and you could also add in additional proteins if you wish.
