Anti-Inflammation Soup

We were looking for a simple winter soup recipe and we found one that really was as easy as it looked. Not only did it taste good and it was easy to prepare, but it was also packed with goodness.

*Scroll further down to watch our video when we tried the recipe and comment to let us know if you’ll also be trying it mums*

This soup recipe contains two powerhouse ingredients; turmeric and ginger, both known to help with a variety of concerns such as:

• Pain-Relief: Curcumin, the superstar anti-inflammatory compound in turmeric, has been found to help relieve the symptoms of painful inflammatory diseases, like arthritis and colitis.
• Anti-Inflammatory: Individually, ginger and turmeric both have impressive anti-inflammatory benefits.
• Stomach-Soothing: Ginger is a well-known home remedy for nausea because Gingerol, the antioxidant compound in ginger, communicates with the serotonin (aka the “feel good” chemical) receptors in your brain to help relieve discomfort.
