This cream of broccoli and zucchini soup is a delicious way to improve your gut and mental health!
Did you know that broccoli has bioactive compounds and phytochemicals that have powerful health-promoting effects on the body?
Broccoli plays a major part in balancing gut microbiota and decreasing inflammation. Mental well-being is increased as a result, along with a whole lot of other physical benefits.
It is often said that if you are going to eat one vegetable alone, broccoli would be the safe bet for optimum nutrition.
The skin on zucchini offers folate, which is essential for producing red and white blood cells. Particularly important for times of rapid growth, as in pregnancy, infancy, and adolescence. Your growing children will benefit (and love!) this soup.
Strengthening the immune and promoting collagen, this soup does more than satisfy the taste buds!
Enjoy every mouthful. Slowly.
