Warming Carrot Spice Soup

Brimming with vibrant colour and flavour, this Carrot Spice Soup is immunity gold for adventure-agers.

Sweet carrots and red capsicum flood your cells with beta-carotene and vitamin C for healthy skin, eyesight and robust immune defenses, while freshly-squeezed orange juice adds an extra citrus hit to help ward off winter bugs. Slow-simmered broth supplies gut-loving minerals (and collagen, if you choose chicken stock) that keep joints supple for all your outdoor exploits. Cumin, onion and coconut oil round out the bowl with anti-inflammatory, digestion-boosting goodness—and the gently spiced, naturally sweet flavour feels like a warm hug on a chilly day. One spoonful and you’ll taste just how delicious healthy ageing can be!
