This superfood soup is extremely simple to put together, tastes rich and creamy (thanks to the coconut milk and pumpkin) and is nutrient rich from using a wide range of organic seasonal vegetables and aromatic spices.
By sautéing the onion, leek, garlic and ginger slowly over a low heat, you’ll get a full flavoured soup whilst retaining the nutrients which can be lost when cooking at a higher heat. The addition of bone broth, which is rich in collagen and glutamine, can assist in healing the gut lining, boosting immunity and shortening the duration of viral illnesses.
Serve with some warm, crusty sourdough bread on a cold winter’s night and your senses will be in overdrive!!
