A deeply nourishing bowl for immunity, heart health & general wellbeing
This is more than just a soup—it’s practical magic in a bowl.
Roasted garlic brings a sweet, mellow depth to this creamy, comforting dish—but it also brings powerful health-supportive compounds. Once prized in ancient medicine cabinets and kitchens alike, garlic is now backed by modern research showing its ability to support immunity, reduce inflammation, and even benefit cardiovascular health.
Pair it with a rich base of collagen-packed bone broth, and you’ve got a warming, restorative soup that’s as therapeutic as it is delicious.
🌿 Why Garlic & Bone Broth?
🧄 Garlic (especially roasted!) isn’t just about flavour. It contains:
- Allicin, a natural compound shown to help fight bacteria and viruses
- Antioxidants that reduce oxidative stress and inflammation
- Heart-loving benefits, including support for healthy blood pressure and cholesterol
And because it’s roasted until soft and sweet, it’s gentle on the digestive system and comforting on the coldest of days.
🍲 Bone broth is a traditional superfood that’s finally getting the recognition it deserves. Whether you’re using homemade, store-bought, or the convenient Planet Paleo Organic Bone Broth Collagen Protein, it delivers:
- Collagen and gelatin to support gut lining, skin elasticity, and joints
- Amino acids like glycine and proline for detoxification and tissue repair
- Minerals (magnesium, calcium, potassium) to support overall vitality and immune function
When combined, garlic and bone broth become a powerful tonic for immune resilience, deep nourishment, and even heart support without compromising on comfort.
