Instructions

Prepare Ingredients

- Separate garlic cloves but do not peel them. Remove excess outer skin.
Cook the Broth
- In a pot, combine sliced turmeric, unpeeled garlic cloves, and 4 cups of water.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
Strain & Blend
- Place a strainer over a blender jar and pour the broth through.
- Remove half of the garlic cloves and set aside to cool.

- Once cooled, peel the reserved garlic and add it to the blender with the strained broth.
- Blend until smooth, starting on low speed and gradually increasing to high. Take care with hot liquid.
Final Cooking Steps
- Strain the blended broth back into the pot. Add the remaining 2 cups of water, salt, and bouillon.
- For noodle soup: Add pasta and cook for 15 minutes or until tender. Stir in minced herbs at the end.

- Season with cracked black pepper and adjust salt if needed.
