Blood Boosting Beetroot and Pumpkin Soup
A 'spook-tacularly' healing soup, perfect to clean the blood after one too many 'trick or treats'! Vegan and free from dairy, gluten and sugar.
Our blood boosting beetroot and pumpkin soup recipe is perfect to blow away the cobwebs!
The deep red colour of the beetroot in this soup is a dead give-away to its affinity with your blood. High in essential nutrients such as magnesium, potassium, vitamins C & B6, antioxidants, soluble fibre and more – its no wonder some of the many benefits associated with eating it include boosting your immune system, normalising blood pressure and slowing the progression of dementia.
Pumpkin season gives us many reasons to celebrate this beauty……this immune boosting veg is an unsung hero, consider that just one cup provides over 200% of your recommended vitamin A (as beta-carotene) for deep protection against cancer, eye complaints and general tissue health. Whilst Pumpkin seeds boost mood by raising your levels of tryptophan (important in the production of serotonin). A quick and easy recipe!
