It’s no secret that it’s cold and flu season again and that means it’s time to nutrient up and boost the immune system. This Tomato Soup recipe is a quick and delicious way to nourish, heal and restore your gut health and immunity! While the main ingredient is bone broth, the fresh basil, a touch of pepper flakes, and thyme all work to boost the immune system.

Bone broth has gained popularity in the past few years and for good reason. The properties in this magic elixir are culpable for why your grandmother’s chicken soup always seemed to be the magic cure.

Bone broth contains 19 healing amino acids that are easily absorbed by the body to fight inflammation and heal the gut. It keeps us hydrated and actually clears mucus and opens respiratory pathways. For all the amazing benefits of bone broth, click here.
