Immune Boosting Vegetables

Super-Delicious, Alkaline, Immune Boosting Vegetables Soup Recipe

Eating the right foods is vitally important for our health & energy.

We need to support our body by giving it all of the tools and nutrients it needs – and when we do this, we thrive

This soup recipe is an incredible help – full of immune-boosting vegetables, it provides the body with an abundance of the nutrients it needs to repair, replenish and fortify our immunity.

Our immune system is, of course, critical to our proper health.

Your immune system doesn’t just preventing sickness and stop outsiders getting in.   Your immune system is also important in preventing allergies, auto-immune conditions and immunodeficiency disorders.

The immune system consists of three lines of defence:

  1. Keep the Invaders Out! Through our skin, mucous membranes etc the first job is to stop the invaders from getting into our body in the first place!
  2. Defend Against Pathogens That Made It Through: this is where we have responses such as inflammation, fevers etc.
  3. When Specific Pathogens Could Cause Disease DO Get In:  it produces antibodies against bacteria or viruses that arise from the outside nasties getting in!

It’s a complex system and we need to nourish it and look after it!

    Hi. Thank you for this wonderful recipe. I have been thinking of taking lectins out of my diet.
    Dr Snow names lectins as a problem I.e. Chick peas are supposed to be pressure cooked and tomatoes skinned and deseeded etc. do you agree with this ? .
    Would appreciate your views on this please.
    Many Thanks
    S

    Yummy!
    I only used about 1/2-3/4 C fresh cherry tomatoes total for tomatoes, (no canned) added about 1 C parsley(a big chunk), used “Gucci” greens rather than spinach, and added some celery. I didn’t blend the raw ingredients separately, just added them in after the cooked veggies (saved a step) and blended the whole thing together. I didn’t add extra salt. I guess my stock was salty enough because it didn’t need anything. Perfect! I didn’t add garbanzos because I live by myself and that’s a lot of food to get through!
    Thanks, Ross! Mary

    Are these the same recipes that I will have collected from ARC 2019 and ARC 2020? I wish I would have joined the alkaline Basecamp instead of doing the ARC 20/20 again. All I was really interested in was more recipes and gathering more of your thoughts on things. Is there a chance that I could switch? A little disappointed in my choice.I thought it would be different this time around?? Laurie Rabideau
