Somewhere between functional and mystical, a broth was conjured with healing plants harvested from the holy mountain on which we live.
I was sick, and needed not to be. I searched high and low for a chicken soup that was nourishing to the body and soul, but found myself negotiating with trans fats and high sodium, a sign of the times and mission for my apothecary.
I decocted osha (one of my dearest plant allies and a fantastic agent for cough, pneumonia, respiratory infections and bronchitis) and astragalus root (another old friend I call on when immune support is needed) then added a ton of ginger, garlic, veg, and free range chicken, some herbs, and voila! Instantly transported to those magical moments where it’s just me, in the sun, face to face with the bear, digging roots and offering to***co. As for the cold, I won this round.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency “loves” when I add things to things that aren’t on our approved Canadian food pyramid. Hi Janet! I’m doing it again ✌🏼
