We have a tradition in our house, that whenever someone comes down with a cold or flu, we make a variation of this healing soup! This soup has more than one thing going for it — it is easy to make, with simple ingredients, and incorporates lots of goodies you’ll want to include when you are sick (broth, greens, ginger, and garlic!).

Eating a healthy diet in a household full of varying preferences and needs can feel like extra work.

Lavender Roasted Turnips and Apples
