Super Duper Anti-inflamatory Immune Booster Broth

I have been experiencing some minor cold symptoms over the last few days, and in an attempt to to try and help speed my recovery I decided to try making a broth with garlic, astragulus and shitake mushrooms. I have also been experiencing some severe pain and stiffness in my left knee since the holiday gorging on dairy and wheat laden cookies and dips, so I decided to also add some turmeric and some ginger to the mix. To my surprise I did only felt a better this morning, and the phlegm built up in my chest overnight, BUT the pain and stiffness in my knee has completely disappeared!

Using the Pressure Cooker

1 cup parsley roughly chopped

1 cup of shitake mushrooms

1 head of garlic, with the outer skin peeled, but skins left on each clove

2-3 inch piece of fresh ginger sliced

1/2 inch piece of fresh turmeric

2 jalapenos whole

1 long piece of astragulus root

1 tsp pink sea salt

2 Tb miso paste

Put everything except the miso into the pressure cooker, put the lid on and bring to full pressure, then reduce heat and cook for 10 minutes. Let cool naturally about another 10 minutes and then strain into a bowl. I then added back into the broth a few of the garlic cloves and the shitake mushrooms and discarded the rest. Take about 1/2 cup of the broth out and mix this well with the miso paste and then add it back into the broth and stir well.
