This soup is rich in nutrients and minerals from the vegetables and bone broth used to make it. The high level of minerals is promoting alkalinity in the body, while the fresh turmeric root adds additional anti-inflammatory properties to it. It’s great for digestive health and promoting healing to the intestinal lining. Meat broth can be omitted, making this recipe plant based and suitable for all.
