This recipe is not only a great soup to keep you warm in the winter, but it's also very healing for your gut. All the ingredients in this recipe are GAPS and Body Ecology friendly if you are following those diets, and it's ideal for those that suffer from leaky gut. This is because the base of the soup is bone broth and it contains onions, cabbage, ginger, turmeric, all known to be very healing foods. It also doesn't include starchy carbs or dairy, but it's still creamy and very delicious.

In this recipe, we use the Turmeric Bone Broth Powder by Ancient Nutrition. Bone Broth Protein begins as a true bone broth liquid. It’s then dehydrated, making it into a concentrated source of high-quality, tasty powder. Bone Broth Protein powder comes with the same benefits of homemade broth. Using Bone Broth Powder is a quick and easy way to make nutritious soup, but you can always substitute it with homemade broth if you'd rather.
