This cancer-fighting cauliflower potato soup will kick your immune system into high and gear and will help prevent the deadly disease.
Souping is the new juicing. We love soups because they warm the soul, especially during the colder part of the year. All the nutritious ingredients come together and are alive in the bowl.
Let’s take a closer look at the ingredients in this cancer-fighting cauliflower potato soup.
Carrots:
Carrots are packed with vitamin A, which is a key nutrient and a potential cancer fighter. Recent research from the Thomas Jefferson University shows that vitamin A has the ability to reverse pre-cancerous cells back to normal breast cells.
Cauliflower:
Cauliflower is a cruciferous vegetable, which means potent anti-cancer compounds. Some compounds like indoles and isothiocyanates have been found to inhibit the development of some types of cancers.
Celery:
Celery is a potent detoxifying vegetable. It is high in water, and it helps flush out toxins from the body. It contains a potent compound called apigenin, which is believed to help treat breast cancer.
Lemon juice:
It is high in vitamin C, which helps strengthen the immune system, and also flushes out toxins by acting as a diuretic.
