This turkey meatball soup cures a cold, flu and makes a happy, happy home. Next, move over chicken noodle soup. This is the one your mom told you to eat when the temps drop, the nose sniffles, and the body gets chills. The next time someone in your home starts sniffling or feels feverish, make this and feed it to them (and everyone else in the home).
I’m convinced this is a medical miracle.
I gave a bowl of this to my 3-year-old; she had a high fever, cough and couldn’t sleep properly. Then, less than 24 hours after eating this and no antibiotics, her fever broke, and she was back to jumping around the home.
What’s impressive about this turkey meatball soup? There is no salt added. None. You don’t need it; trust me on this one. The turkey meatballs are so light and full of flavour it carries through the broth.
