🍲 Golden Healing: Ginger, Garlic & Turmeric Soup with Ancient Grain Orzo

 


Comfort, nourishment, and flavor — slow-simmered in our old-world copper pots.

At Gold Standard Bake Shop, we believe that every bowl of soup should feel like a hug from the inside out.

That’s exactly what this one does.

Our Ginger, Garlic & Turmeric Soup with Ancient Grain Orzo is earthy, fragrant, and soothing — a pot of gold simmered slowly in fresh chicken bone broth, crafted in our old-world copper pots and packed with immune-boosting goodness and the subtle chew of ancient grain orzo.

This isn’t just soup. It’s restorative food, lovingly prepared with intention, and meant to be savored.

🌿 Why This Soup Heals & Satisfies

We crafted this recipe with care, using ingredients that do more than fill you up — they lift you up:

  • Ginger: warming, soothing, and good for digestion

  • Garlic: nature’s antimicrobial powerhouse

  • Turmeric: anti-inflammatory and vibrant with golden color

  • Ancient grain orzo: a wholesome alternative to traditional pasta, packed with fiber, minerals, and nutty flavor

  • Real chicken bone broth: slow-simmered in-house for collagen, depth, and serious comfort

Together, they create a comforting, medicinal-quality soup that’s as satisfying as it is nourishing.

🫕 Cooked in Old-World Copper Pots

Why copper?

Because copper distributes heat evenly and gently, allowing herbs and spices to bloom and deepen, and giving broths the clarity and richness they deserve.

We don’t rush flavor — we coax it out, layer by layer, hour by hour.

At Gold Standard, this soup simmers slowly, allowing the turmeric to mellow, the garlic to sweeten, and the ginger to shine — all infused into a base of freshly brewed chicken bone broth.

🍲 The Gold Standard Recipe: Ginger, Garlic & Turmeric Soup with Ancient Grain Orzo

Serves: 4–6
Total Time: ~1 hour
Vibe: Comforting | Nourishing | Bright

🧄 Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp cold-pressed olive oil or grass-fed butter

  • 1 large yellow onion, finely chopped

  • 6 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 thumb-sized piece of fresh ginger, grated (about 2 tbsp)

  • 1½ tsp ground turmeric or 1-inch piece of fresh turmeric, grated

  • 6 cups fresh chicken bone broth (homemade or Gold Standard house-made)

  • ¾ cup ancient grain orzo (einkorn, spelt, or emmer preferred)

  • Sea salt & cracked black pepper to taste

  • Zest & juice of ½ lemon

  • Optional: pinch of chili flakes for warmth

  • Fresh herbs for garnish (parsley, cilantro, or dill)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Sauté the aromatics:
    In a large copper pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and cook until translucent, about 5–7 minutes. Add garlic, ginger, and turmeric and sauté 2–3 minutes more, stirring often to avoid burning.

  2. Simmer with broth:
    Pour in chicken bone broth and bring to a low simmer. Season with salt, pepper, and chili flakes (if using). Let simmer gently for 20–30 minutes so flavors marry beautifully.

  3. Add the orzo:
    Stir in ancient grain orzo and continue simmering for 10–12 minutes until tender but toothsome.

  4. Finish with brightness:
    Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice and zest. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

  5. Serve warm:
    Ladle into bowls and top with chopped herbs, a drizzle of olive oil, and an optional swirl of yogurt or ghee for extra richness.

🌾 Why Ancient Grain Orzo?

Unlike processed white pasta, ancient grain orzo is made with grains like einkorn, spelt, or emmer — grains that have been feeding humans for millennia. They’re richer in nutrients, flavor, and fiber, and naturally less processed and easier to digest.

Each spoonful offers real sustenance, with a nutty bite that pairs beautifully with the brightness of turmeric and ginger.

🧡 How We Serve It

At Gold Standard Bake Shop, this soup is a seasonal favorite, served with:

  • A warm slice of toasted einkorn sourdough

  • A spoonful of house-fermented Greek yogurt

  • A sprinkle of smoked salt and fresh herbs

It’s a meal that feels simple but special — and always made from scratch.

✨ Final Notes

This isn’t trendy wellness soup.
This is slow, honest, healing food that draws from culinary tradition and real ingredients — made by hands that care.

It’s the soup you want when you’re under the weather,
the bowl you crave when you need warmth,
and the recipe you’ll come back to again and again.

Golden inside and out. That’s the Gold Standard.
