“THE SOUP”
The Ultimate Homemade Soup for Optimal Health and Performance
When it comes to fueling your body with whole, natural, and organic ingredients, nothing beats a hearty homemade soup. This nutrient-dense, creamy soup is packed with vitamins, minerals, and protein to support muscle growth, recovery, and overall organ health. With its thick, velvety texture, it pairs perfectly with any meal, but my personal favorite is mixing it with venison for an incredibly flavorful, high-protein dish. Whether you’re looking for a low-carb, low-fat meal or want to add rice for extra energy, this soup delivers on all fronts.
Nutrient-Packed Ingredients for Optimal Health
Each ingredient in this soup is carefully selected for its powerful health benefits:
Tomatoes – Loaded with antioxidants like lycopene, tomatoes support heart health and reduce inflammation.
Butternut & Acorn Squash – Rich in fiber, vitamin A, and potassium, these squash varieties enhance digestion, immunity, and muscle function.
Red Onion – A great source of quercetin, which has anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting properties.
Carrots – High in beta-carotene for vision health and skin protection.
Red Bell Peppers – Packed with vitamin C to support immune function and collagen production.
Roasted Garlic – A natural powerhouse for cardiovascular health and immune support.
Rosemary & Sage – These herbs aid digestion and have cognitive-enhancing properties.
Cottage Cheese & Collagen – Providing high-quality protein and essential amino acids to support muscle repair and joint health.
Bone Broth – One of the best sources of collagen, promoting gut health, joint health, and recovery.
Coconut Cream – Adds a rich texture while providing healthy fats that support brain function and energy levels.
Turmeric, Cinnamon & Italian Seasoning – These spices help fight inflammation, regulate blood sugar, and enhance the soup’s depth of flavor.
The Perfect High-Protein, Low-Carb Meal
This soup is an excellent base for a high-protein, low-carb meal. Pairing it with venison (or any other lean meat) boosts its protein content, making it ideal for muscle recovery and strength building. It’s also naturally low in fat and carbs, making it a great option for those looking to stay lean while maintaining optimal nutrition.
For those who want extra carbs for energy, mixing the soup with rice creates a balanced meal that’s just as delicious.
