I've got a turmeric dish i made up, it's good but it's a side dish and nothing outstanding. I'll probably pass on this challenge. Good luck everyone!

Side dishes are as welcome as mains. As are drinks, soups, starters, desserts etc.

I have a drink I make fairly regularly but it's so standard. Delicious but very well-known and I don't think I could offer anything more inventive to make it more interesting.

Another problem I have is my husband hates turmeric, so I can't make anything on a larger scale. I make an awesome chicken turmeric soup that I adore but I always have to wait until the end to add the turmeric to my bowl only and can never add it to the pot because he hates it so much. It will be fun living vicariously through others who enter the challenge!

OK. OK. I did some snooping and I thought about adjusting some other recipe ideas I had been kicking around to use Tumeric. That gives me about 5 possible recipes. I am quite stupefied that I was able to get the ingredient lists ready for all five and that they all, for the most part, will be somewhat unique. Thanks for the kick.

Please post your soup recipe with Turmeric. I love soup and I want to try Turmeric for my advanced osteoarthritis. I saw a bunch of recipes online but I prefer tried-n-true from people that love cooking as much as I do. Pretty please? 🙃

P.S. I don't know if we're supposed to be posting about this on this thread. Yikes.

Yes, I will do that. I actually was a sales rep for a nutritional company that had Turmeric products in it's line and I have several that I like quite well and my customers enjoyed greatly. Food is the best way for Turmeric to be presented, don't you think? Pills and capsules are boring. It's also well known that pepperspice and fats help the Turmeric absorb better into your system.

I will post them as recipes and link them to the challenge, even though I don't expect any of them to win. Who knows, maybe along the way I will come up with something unique that I could post as a serious entry!

Seriously, it's just chicken soup. If you want to just add some turmeric to chicken soup that would be a good start. It's good.

Ironically, that's what I made for dinner tonight. I took photos and will post the recipe tomorrow.
