This Coconut Ginger Parsnip Soup is a powerhouse for gut healing with the star ingredient being bone broth. Bone broth is detoxifying, calming, collagen-rich, and anti-inflammatory. When consumed regularly, the result is often a nice gentle reset of the digestive system, increased energy, clarity of mind, and improvement of skin. But every single ingredient here is beneficial in reducing inflammation and initiating healing in the body. Make a double batch of this one and freeze it so you always have this healing meal at your ready.
