Voodoo Soup

I saw this on bitemeindustries - who I follow on Instagram. This is what she says "This is my sick voodoo soup. Anytime I feel that I’m starting to get sick, overtired, or around people who are sick I kick it in the pants with this soup. It is a Spinach Orzo Garlic Chili Soup that is made by sautéing fresh garlic in olive oil and toasting red chili flakes in the same hot oil. Then I add chicken broth, about eight buds of confit garlic if I happen to have some in my fridge and then I pour that toasty warm broth over a bunch of spinach that wilts into beautiful goodness and it will send any voodoo a pack’in."

When I'm not feeling well - I always make Sick Soup - but that is when I'm already not feeling well. I have a recipe for Green Chili Chicken Soup - touted as a cure for the common cold but I don't have one to stave off getting sick - I'll definitely try this next time!!

Voodoo Soup

2 Tbs Olive Oil
1/4-1/2 tsp red chili flakes
3 fresh garlic cloves minced
Sautee for 1-2 minutes, then add:
2-3 cups chicken broth
8 confit garlic cloves (optional)
1/3 cup risotto

Boil for 8-9 minutes on low, then pour over a heaping bowl of fresh baby spinach. I often add chili oil on top for extra spice.
