In these cooler months, maintaining a strong immune system is essential for staying healthy and avoiding common illnesses. The immune system is a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to defend the body against harmful invaders, such as bacteria, viruses, and toxins. While a healthy lifestyle and balanced diet can support the immune system, certain foods may provide an extra boost of protection. One such food is broccoli, a cruciferous vegetable packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants known to bolster the immune system. When combined with the anti-inflammatory properties of turmeric, a spice used in traditional medicine for centuries, broccoli creates a powerful immune-boosting duo. This instant pot broccoli and turmeric soup recipe combines these ingredients into a delicious and nutritious soup that's easy to make and can be enjoyed as part of a healthy diet to support the immune system.
