Ingredient Benefits

• Shallots – Milder than regular onions, shallots bring a subtle sweetness and are rich in antioxidants and flavonoids, supporting heart health and reducing inflammation.

• Garlic – Adds a savory, aromatic base while offering powerful immune-boosting and antimicrobial properties due to its allicin content.

• Beetroot – Naturally sweet and earthy, beets are packed with nitrates that support healthy blood flow, as well as folate, fiber, and antioxidants for liver support and cardiovascular health.

• Tomatoes – Roasting enhances their flavor and unlocks lycopene, a powerful antioxidant that supports skin health and protects against oxidative stress.

• Maple Syrup – A natural sweetener with a touch of minerals like zinc and manganese, it complements the earthy vegetables without refined sugar.

• Dried Thyme – Offers a warm, herbaceous flavor and supports immune health with its antibacterial and antifungal properties.

• Rosemary – Aromatic and earthy, rosemary is rich in carnosic acid, which supports cognitive function and acts as a natural preservative.

• Vegetable Stock – Adds depth and body to the soup while helping to bring all the flavors together. Choose a low-sodium version to control salt levels.

• Coconut Milk – Creates a silky, creamy finish while keeping the soup dairy-free. It also provides healthy fats, including lauric acid, which supports immune health.
