So, my fellow soup lovers, curl up and rejoice, because you’re about to embark on a wild rice soup recipe that absolutely screams comfy fall food!
Health Benefits Of Vegetable Rice Soup
What makes vegetable rice soup so amazing, besides its clean, hearty taste, is that it’s an easy way to pack in so many healthy ingredients into a single bowl. This easy vegetable soup is packed with body-loving ingredients that you’ll feel good about every time you put (or in my case shove 😂) a spoonful into your mouth!
Here are just a few of the incredible health benefits you’ll get from some of the ingredients in this easy vegetable soup!
- Vitamins & minerals—It’s no wonder Bugs Bunny was so smart, witty, and clever, what with all the carrots he ate! Packed with vitamins and minerals, carrots are an excellent addition to this wild rice soup! Loaded with vitamin A, carrots help promote good vision, and also help with growth, development, and strong immunity (1). The carrots in this vegetable rice soup also contain biotin, potassium, and vitamin B6, just to name a few. Carrots also contain large amounts of fiber, which helps regulate digestion.
- Antioxidants, healthy digestion, & reduced inflammation—Would you believe that you get all three of those benefits in this wild rice soup from celery alone?! Well, believe it sister, because that crunchy green stick, while mild in flavor, is anything but mild when it comes to what it can do for your health! Celery is a great source of antioxidants, which helps protect cells from damage. With vitamin C and betacarentine, celery is an excellent source of phytonutrients, which have been shown to help reduce inflammation (2). All of these antioxidants and anti-inflammatory nutrients are beneficial for your digestive system, keeping your digestive tract healthy and regular!
- Smooth skin & healthy joints—This easy vegetable soup would not be complete without youth-activating Super Youth collagen! By adding in Super Youth multi-collagen peptides to this wild rice soup, you’re helping to smooth stubborn fine lines and wrinkles, reduce the appearance of cellulite, and promote strong, pain-free joint movement. Super Youth collagen consists of the five types of collagen peptides that are needed to help replenish the body of lost collagen over time. And because Super Youth is unflavored, the taste is undetectable, but its results are absolutely not! 🙌
If you want to make this vegetable rice soup a protein pick-me-up, simply add in some chicken and voila! Your protein-packed easy vegetable soup has all the powerful benefits listed above, and then some!
