NO SOUP FOR YOU!!! Soup Nazi, played by my FB friend Larry Thomas on Seinfeld already implied, his glorious soup is only for the deserving!!
Tastes awesome and the health benefits overflow. That's why all of us deserve it!
Of all bone or broth soup, my favorite is still beef bone soup, next is chicken. I love lots of onions and tomatoes in it, and ginger, both for the flavor and the healing effects (especially onions of the alum family). And as you know me, it's got to have some hot kick in it, so I slice some fresh jalapeño and crushed black pepper. I use Himalayan salt and fish sauce ( optional) to taste.
My favorite leaves to boil in it are : Napa cabbage, bokchoy or regular cabbage.
For a morning sip of this scrumptious and healthy jumpstarter, I only consume the broth as the vegetable solids may mess up my stomach. Without that, it is indeed the best thing to have in the morning.
When I go hiking these days, rather than trail mix, beef jerky plus a drink, I carry a light thermos with brith soup! It rejuvenates me and warms me up making extra miles of hike like a walk in the park. And since it's sealed, I'm not as worried about bears smelling my food.
So my friends, have a go at it. Put in vegetables of your voice. Celery, carrots, mushrooms or whatever you fancy.
Prepare it yourself and save and store the extra soup. Strain out the cooked vegetables before storing in the freezer.
Eat it with the veggies and the tender meat or just enjoy the soup if your gastrointestinal tract is sensitive.
So, Soup Nazi, kiss my ladle!! . 😉😝 Arlyn Valencia, M.D.

BENEFITS OF BONE BROTH
1. Heal and seal your gut. According to Jill Grunewald, a holistic nutrition coach and founder of Healthful Elements, a cup a day works miracles for leaky gut syndrome but it's also good for protecting non-leaky guts. The gelatin in the bone broth (found in the knuckles, feet, and other joints) helps seal up holes in intestines. This helps cure chronic diarrhea, constipation, and even some food intolerances.
2. Protect your joints. Taking glucosamine supplements to help with joint pain has been common knowledge for years, but it turns out that bone broth has glucosamine too. But unlike pills, the broth also includes a host of other goodies that help keep your joints happy, healthy, and pain-free. The chondroitin sulfate in bone broth has been shown to help prevent osteoarthritis.
3. Look younger. Bone broth is a rich source of collagen. You can find collagen in all kinds of “plumping” products these days, but why stick it on the outside when you can drink it? Not only is drinking it cheaper, but it can make your skin, hair, and nails look just as radiant.
4. Sleep better, and feel better. The glycine in bone broth has been shown in several studies to help people sleep better and improve memory.
5. Immune support. Mark Sisson, author of The Primal Blueprint, actually calls bone broth a “superfood” thanks to the high concentration of minerals. He says that the bone marrow can help strengthen your immune system. (Something that won't surprise your grandma who always made you her famous chicken soup when you got sick!) A Harvard study even showed that some people with auto-immune disorders experienced a relief of symptoms when drinking bone broth, with some achieving a complete remission.
6. Stronger bones. The phosphorus, magnesium, and calcium in the bones seeps out into the broth leaving you with the essential building blocks for healthy bones.
7. More energy. I’m not sure what the mechanism is for this, but if you read accounts of bone broth, you’ll notice everyone swears by the energy boost. I’d prefer to see science backing this up, but the research on bone broth is still emerging.
8. It’s very economical! What else were you going to do with those chicken carcasses, soup bones, and veggies going bad in your fridge?
