Chief Taste Expert at graze, Ellie comments on this recipe: "This healing broth made with turmeric, ginger and spices is inspired by this detox soup (http://www.feastingathome.com/turmeric-broth-detox-soup/) from @FeastingAtHome - the turmeric gives it a rich golden yellow colour, as well as a nice aroma and anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting goodness. The pumpkin seed topping adds some crunchy protein and fibre."
