Nurturing & Restorative Green Soup
Nurturing & Restorative Green Soup was a soup I made up for a friend who had been diagnosed with cancer as it contains large amounts of cancer fighting & immune boosting foods, such as garlic, ginger, turmeric, broccoli and kale. This nurturing green soup will certainly surprise you with how good it tastes. Fresh ingredients and the addition of lemon make it light and slightly tangy. Sprinkle it with pepita seeds (full of zinc) and if you choose you can top it with crispy tofu.
What’s good about it?
Turmeric has been linked to the prevention of cancer cell growth and management of inflammatory conditions such as arthritis, eczema and inflammatory bowel disease. It is a nutritional powerhouse, rich in manganese, zinc, B group vitamins and iron.
Ginger has potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. It helps to boost immune function and combat cellular damage.
Broccoli is full of alkalising, anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer phytonutrients called sulforaphane that protect against disease. It’s a true superfood rich in antioxidants, including vitamin C, E and CoQ10. Broccoli is also a wonderful source of B group vitamins, vitamin K, calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus and manganese.
