A healing, aromatic, and customizable turmeric broth recipe featuring ginger, garlic, and warming spices, perfect for a gentle cleanse or nutritious meal. The luminous, amber-hued soup delivers robust flavor in every spoonful.

Ingredients

Scale

1–2 tablespoons olive oil or ghee

1 medium yellow onion, finely diced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated or finely minced

4–5 garlic cloves, grated or finely minced

1–2 teaspoons turmeric powder (or 2–3 teaspoons fresh, grated)

1 teaspoon cumin powder

1 teaspoon coriander powder

one-quarter teaspoon mustard seeds (optional)

one-quarter teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste

4 cups vegetable broth or chicken stock, low sodium

4 cups water

three-quarters to 1 teaspoon sea salt, plus more to taste

Squeeze of fresh lime or lemon juice, or 1–2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar, to taste

Instructions

1. Heat olive oil or ghee in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and sauté for five to seven minutes until translucent and golden.

2. Introduce ginger, garlic, and fresh turmeric (if using). Continue to sauté for two to three minutes until mellow and fragrant.

3. Incorporate the cumin, coriander, turmeric powder (if using), mustard seeds, and cayenne pepper. Stir vigorously for sixty to ninety seconds to awaken the spices.

4. Pour in the broth, water, and initial salt measurement. Stir well.

5. Bring the liquid to a gentle simmer. Reduce heat to low, maintaining a steady, relaxed bubble. Allow the broth to infuse for ten to fifteen minutes, uncovered.

6. Remove the broth from the heat. Stir in the squeeze of fresh citrus juice or apple cider vinegar. Taste and adjust salt and spice level according to your palate before serving.

Notes

For the best flavor complexity, use a blend of both fresh and ground turmeric.

A small drizzle of olive oil over the finished bowl helps the body absorb turmeric’s nutrients (curcuminoids).

Store the cooled, pure broth base separately from any additions (like rice or pasta) to maintain its clear, brothy texture.

To make a creamy variation, stir in one-third to one-half cup of full-fat coconut milk at the end.
