Soups have magical healing powers.

They are very easy to digest, have a wonderful warming quality and are very nutritious.

For extra healing power, I recommend making your own bone broth.

WHAT’S SO SPECIAL ABOUT BONE BROTH?

• Excellent source of minerals, like calcium and magnesium
• Boosts the immune system
• Improves digestion (it’s one of the best things you can do to heal your gut).
• It’s delicious!
• Tips for reducing histamine in bone broth – cook for less time (max 2 hours for chicken, and 4 hours for beef) and freeze.
