Whip up an easy delicious lunch with this sweet potato and zucchini soup!
It's flavourful, brimming with anti-inflammatory goodness, and simple to make.
Sweet potato is the star of the show, providing fiber for blood sugar support and beta-carotene, a pro-vitamin A compound that fights inflammation. Beta carotene and vitamin A are essential for strong immunity, gut health, good vision, and skin health. Research shows that beta-carotene acts like internal sunscreen, protecting us from the harmful effects of UVA and UVB rays on our skin and eyes (Baswan et al, 2021).
Zucchini, or courgettes, are a type of summer squash with a high water content. This makes them a great addition to hydrating meals like soup. Their creamy flesh pairs well with onion and soaks up the pungent flavors of turmeric and black pepper.
Turmeric gives the soup its vibrant color. It contains a compound called curcumin, which has powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Turmeric helps reduce inflammation in the body, supports brain health, and aids in maintaining a healthy weight.
This dish does not contain any protein, so be sure to pair it with a source of good quality protein like poultry, red meat, or fish.
