Winter White Veggie Soup Recipe
Hey Fam! With the holidays behind us, Janurary bringing in all the new starts, goals and resolutions. Getting back on track with eating healthy is at the top of our priority lists. When we think of healthy eating we automatically think salads and juices but with it still being cold we crave warming heavier foods, and that’s ok it can be healthy. My Winter White Veggie Soup Recipe is only filled with absolute goodness. Containing 5 white veggies that are going to nourish your body, comfort it and heal it.
It was on a recent trip to Poland I was inspired for this recipe. Not having a kitchen meant I had to eat out the entire trip which meant I got to try so many delicious dishes and learn so much. Soup is such a staple food in Poland and a small bowl is eaten as a starter.
White Vegetables
“Eat the colours of the rainbow,” “Eat a variety of colourful veg,” “Avoid white food.” We hear this all the time. Meaning veggies that are white or have no colour are disregarded. Avoiding white foods means processed foods, breads and pastas things like that. White vegetables are so good for you and packed with heath benefits! So remember to eat white vegetables every day, along with all the colourful ones.
Cauliflower & Turnips – Prevents cancers
Potatoes – Lower cholesterol
Mushrooms – Immune boosting
Onions – Bone health
Garlic – Antioxidant, anti-inflammatory
White beans – Full of protien, Cholesterol lowering
Let’s do this….
