For those days you really want to nourish your soul, feel cosy and nurtured, but also light and satisfied. This Soup is gut friendly, as in it will not leave you feeling bloated. And, it is nutrient dense, high in fibre, heavy on the greens and with just enough good fats. It’s the perfect combination of what I call during my Wellness Coaching Sessions, the Four Elements. Fibre, Protein, Greens and Good Fats. If you’re wondering about the Protein, I have two options for you. Either add some shredded chicken, or keep it plant based with a sprinkle of Hemp Seeds along with the Toasted Pine Nuts as seen here. Yum xx
