This is an intensely rich and nourishing soup to dip homemade crusty bread into. The beetroot is rich in iron, betacyanin and fibre to encourage the breakdown of built-up toxins and removal through the digestive system. Betacyanin has been shown to lower blood pressure where it is high, making it the perfect soup if life is particularly demanding. Orange is rich in antioxidant vitamin C for cellular repair and ginger's powerful volatile oils are known to fight bacterial infections, ease digestion and encourage circulation.
