Kimchi Super Soup
For me the key to a good soup is roasting the veggies before blending. It adds an extra dimension of flavour that is SO worth the extra step, especially with onion and garlic. That toasty and sweet flavour of roasted vegetables is something that just never gets old. And we all agree there’s nothing better than a good soup on a cold night right!
And in terms of gut health, not only has this recipe got some amazing gut health benefits like fermented foods, prebiotic fibres from garlic and onion, and even collagen from the bone broth if using… But I certainly find when my gut needs a break, soup is the best thing for it, super easy on the digestive system but still getting all of that amazing veggie goodness.
