Not only is this soup delicious and satisfying, but it's also a healthy choice. In fact, it's a great home remedy for colds and flu. Passed down through generations, this recipe is one of my Mom's signature dishes and true comfort food.

To make the most of this recipe, I suggest using mutton with bones. This will not only provide plenty of calcium and protein but also add to the cozy, comforting feeling of the soup. Fresh ginger, garlic, and shallots (or onions, if you don't have shallots) add a nice depth of flavor, while fresh turmeric adds an irresistible aroma and anti-inflammatory properties.
