Detox Vegetable Soup
What's great about it
A simple soup from my cookbook EARTH TO TABLE that’s power packed with antioxidants, fibre and goodness. It makes the perfect 10-minute meal and wonderful as a light lunch or dinner. This soup helps to support a healthy digestive system as it's rich in prebiotic fibre.
Pre-biotics refer to natural soluble fibres that feed the good bacteria in our large intestine, helping to promote balanced gut flora and healthy bowel function. Natural pre-biotics are found in a variety of plant-based foods, which is another great reason to eat a nourishing wholefoods diet.
