Thai Soup – Immune-Building Soup

By Leave a Comment

Share

A friend, Lynn Parker, gave me the ingredient list for this recipe. She calls it Thai Soup, but I call it Immune-Boosting Soup.  I cook all of my bone-in chicken in my Instant Pot, which gives me a beautiful bone broth.  If I use my Instant Pot, pot, there’s no need to further cook the bones. Chicken cooks in about 25 minutes, and produces a beautiful gelatin.

 

Make it Strong or Weak

I made an extremely strong batch of this soup using water instead of chicken stock/bone broth, and froze it in small batches in 16 oz freezer-safe canning jars. When I make a bigger batch, I use the larger freezer-safe canning jars. After thawing, I added the fresh bone broth and then heated it–YUM. If you find you made your batch too strong (too much garlic, ginger, lemongrass, or cayenne), just add more chicken stock/bone broth or even some water.

I bet you’ll want to double or triple this recipe and freeze it or can it. If you freeze it and plan to use glass jars, be sure to use ones that are safe for freezing. The freezer-safe jars are the one that are completely straight and don’t have a shoulder.

I’ve added Thai Soup #2 with the amounts I used in my latest batch. This batch could have been a little stronger–maybe less water.

Recipe With Ingredient Quantities – Thai #2

You might want to adjust quantities in this recipe, but this gives you a good starting point. I’ve specified Shitake Mushrooms in this recipe, because they are known as the best for the immune system, but any mushroom will do.

I’ve typed in lower case (because I think it’s easier to read), the title of Pfizer’s study which tells it all: ”

A phase 1/2/3, placebo-controlled, randomized, observer-blind, dose-finding study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, immunogenicity, and efficacy of sars-cov-2 rna vaccine candidates against covid-19 in healthy individuals”

What does OSHA say about my employer forcing me to get the shot?

“If you require your employees to be vaccinated as a condition of employment (i.e., for work-related reasons), then any adverse reaction to the COVID-19 vaccine is work-related.”

Peanut Butter Dog Treats (Bisquits)

By Leave a Comment

No Toxic Ingredients

This dog treat recipe doesn’t contain propylene glycol, caramel color, or sodium nitrate, unlike so many commercial dog treats. Many “vitamins” found in dog treats aren’t really vitamins at all; they’re drugs that can come with side effects. If you’d like to learn why I would never give “vitamins” to my dog, and how those drugs are made, check out this article by Dogs Naturally Magazine.  If you’d like to delve even further into the world of “vitamins,” check out this article: The Truth About Vitamins in Nutritional Supplements.

PLEASE CHECK THAT YOUR PEANUT BUTTER DOES NOT CONTAIN XYLITOL!!! 

 

Peanut Butter Dog Treats (Bisquits)

Author:
Ingredients
  • 1 Cup Brown Rice Flour
  • 1 Cup Freshly Ground Oat Flour
  • ¾ Cup Freshly Ground Flaxseed
  • 2 Tablespoons Nutritional Yeast
  • 2 Tablespoons Brewer's Yeast
  • ½ Teaspoon Garlic or Onion Powder
  • 1 Teaspoon Parsley
  • 1 Teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1 Cup Peanut Butter
  • 2 Slightly Beaten Eggs
  • ½ Teaspoon Sea Salt
  • About 1 Cup Liquid--bone broth, apple juice, apple cider, or water. PLEASE NOTE: You may or may not need more or less liquid depending on how much oil is in the peanut butter.
Instructions
  1. Add all dry ingredients to mixing bowl (stand mixer works great)
  2. Mix thoroughly.
  3. Add peanut butter and egg.
  4. Mix together, then add enough liquid to make into a ball.
  5. Roll out onto floured pastry board.
  6. Use cookie cutter to cut into dog bones or cut into squares.*
  7. Bake at 350° for 25 minutes.
  8. Flip bones over and bake for 25 more minutes.
  9. Reduce oven to 175° and bake for 6 to 8 hours or dry in a dehydrator overnight at 155° or until completely dry.
  10. Dehydrate longer, if necessary, making certain treats are completely dry. (Moisture will cause them to spoil quicker.)
  11. Leave out enough for the week, and store remaining in an airtight container in freezer.
  12. * I have a tiny dog and lightly score dough into tiny pieces before baking, which is quicker and makes it easy to break when they are dry.

Please Be Sure To Properly Dehydrate

As with any dry dog treat, beware that they can be a choking hazard, especially if they are too large. Please give them small, bite-size pieces appropriate for your size dog.

Did you know you can get a dog bone cookie cutter with your dog’s name personalized on it? Personalized Dog Bone Cookie Cutter.

When I don’t have time to make these, I purchase made-in-New-Hampshire Casey Jones Bones. In my local area they sell for about $5.99/box. UPDATE: I know Casey Jones Bones was sold, but I can no longer find any information about the company.

Food Supplements (aka Whole-Food Supplements)

I’m a real-rood advocate and think we should avoid synthetic supplements whenever possible. 

My absolute number one, favorite supplement/food/superfood, is moringa oleifera! Unfortunately, Zija International was bought by Isagenix and they have completely  changed Supermix, so that I can’t drink it anymore. And this, after 13 years!!! Unfortunately, I’ve not found a company that uses all of the medicinal parts of the plant and doesn’t also add synthetics.

Moringa is available at my Fullscript Store.

 

Innate Vitamin C is one of my favorites and is available at my Fullscript store:

 

 

One of the most important electrolytes that I’ve found, and what helped me tremendously when I was sick is QuintEssential 0.9. I was surprised at how quickly this seemed to replenish my electrolytes.
