Well we are deep in winter now and what better way to cosy up that with a warming winter soup! Soups are highly nutritious, hydrating and super easy to digest. You can blend them, have them chunky, and prepare them in well in advance so you always have they go to meal in the freezer.

Today our magic ingredient is ginger. Ginger is a known carminative, which reduces bloating, and contains spasmolytic, a substance which relaxes and soothes the intestinal tract. It is a strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory and prevents nausea.

Vegetable soups are a great low calorie option and have been proven to help to lose weight when consumed regularly. Sounds pretty soup-er hey?!!
