This winter cleansing soup uses Organic Ghee alongside a variety of low-carb friendly vegetables to harness all the fat-soluble nutrients found in these plants.
When cooking with any types of plants, it is essential to use correct preparation methods! In this instance, boiling assists with the reduction of anti-nutrients as well as assisting with extracting the most nutritional value from the vegetables.
Ayurvedic spice, Garam Masala is said to help warm the body, boost the immune system and assist with digestion, particularly when used alongside Ghee.
