Green Superfood Soup

Two words: soup season! And we’re here for it. Quick to make, super nourishing, and the perfect warm up for a winter lunch or dinner, this hearty green vegetable soup can be enjoyed chunky – if that’s your vibe – or blend it up and enjoy it smooth.

This Green Superfood Soup is packed full of seasonal vegetables and herbs and made with a base of  artisan beef bone stock made from grass fed and ethically sourced beef bones.

Moringa powder adds a natural plant protein source that is packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. And just when you think it can’t get any better, it’s topped with a delicious savoury seasoning of furikake (an excellent source of iodine), hemp hearts and hemp oil (for a boost of good fats, omegas 3 & 6) and nutritional yeast (bursting with vitamin B12) for additional flavour and nutrients.

• 1 large potato, peeled and diced
• 1 Tablespoon coconut oil
