About

Forget your chicken soup and the megadoses of vitamin C and zinc. This pungent, fragrant soup is all you need to cure anything from the common cold to mild depression. Faintly intoxicating, radiating cinnamon, lemon, and thyme, and plush with fruit, this elixir is pure comfort food. Serve it warm before a winter stew or roast, or chilled as a dessert dolloped with a scoop of ice cream.
