Ah, the season of sniffles, sneezes, and the perpetual search for tissues. Fear not! This immune-boosting broth is your secret weapon against the pesky cold and flu. Think of it as your aromatic armor, ready to fend off those germs like a valiant knight! 🛡️
#### Ingredients:
**7 cups** vegetable, beef stock, or Bar Harbor® Fish or Seafood Stocks (choose your own adventure!)
**8 oz. bottle** Bar Harbor® Clam Juice (because who doesn’t want a splash of ocean magic?)
**1 1/2 tablespoons** extra-virgin olive oil (the elixir of life)
**1 whole head** garlic, cloves peeled and coarsely chopped (vampires beware!)
**1 bay leaf** (no, not the kind you bake cookies with)
**1/4 teaspoon** dried thyme (for that herbaceous charm)
**Pinch** dried sage (because it’s wise to have some sage advice)
-Salt to taste (just a sprinkle of love)
#### Instructions:
1. In a cauldron—oops, I mean a pot—combine your stock of choice with the clam juice. If you’re feeling fancy, give it a little swirl like you’re at a wine tasting.
2. Add in the olive oil, garlic, bay leaf, thyme, and sage. Stir it up like you’re conjuring a spell.
3. Turn up the heat! Bring this concoction to a rolling boil—imagine it bubbling away like a witch’s brew.
4. Once boiling, reduce the heat, cover it up like it’s bedtime for your broth and let it simmer for 30 minutes. This is where the magic happens!
5. After 30 minutes of aromatic bliss, add salt to taste. Remember: it should be seasoned just right—no one likes an overly salty potion!
6. Finally, strain this liquid gold into bowls or mugs (or whatever vessel you have on hand). Sip slowly and let the warmth envelop you like a cozy blanket on a chilly evening.
Now go forth and sip your way to immunity! If someone asks you how you’re feeling, just say you’re “broth-tastic!” 🥣✨
