Healing Minestrone Soup

Yesterday before lock down set in here in Victoria, my family and I enjoyed a surf and picnic lunch on the beach in the divine sunshine. What an incredible winter we have had, full of so many sunny warm days.

This minestrone soup is grain and dairy free and perfect for a warm winters lunch. It is very simple to create- you can even use what ever vegetables you have in your fridge to put your unique spin on it. It’s anti-inflammatory, gut healing, great for your microbiome and full of beneficial nutrients.

Getting into the kitchen and cooking your own food is one of the best things you can do for your family’s health and it’s such a privilege too. Happy cooking!!
