A bowl of food with pasta and vegetables.

I am adding anti-inflammatory ingredients, especially turmeric, to everything I can these days with the goal of lessening the symptoms of my autoimmune disease. Soup is always a favorite so I loaded this recipe with super foods including ginger, carrots, red and green cabbage and LOTS of turmeric. To our health!
