This Superfood Soup Will Boost Your Immunity & Is A Breeze To Make
There's nothing better than making a healthy soup with minimal cleanup. Amy Rains, a nutritionist, mother of two, and author of the new cookbook One-Pot Gluten-Free Cooking, is passionate about feeding her family meals that feature nutritious, whole foods but also allow her to spend as much time with them as possible (think easy prep and minimal cleanup). Her new cookbook features delicious, gluten-free recipes that can be made in under 30 minutes and with one pot.
Her black bean and sweet potato soup includes turmeric, which is known to fight inflammation, boost your immune system, and alleviate joint pain. In this superfood soup you'll also find avocado oil, a healthy fat associated with anti-aging benefits as well as sweet potatoes, which are high in magnesium, known to promote relaxation, and fiber that helps to support healthy bacteria in the gut.
You'll feel good knowing you're nourishing yourself and your family with healthy ingredients, and there's no need to dread the cleanup.
