Organic Beef & Kale Instant Pot Soup
Free from grain, gluten, dairy, sugar and eggs.
When the leaves change and the temperatures drop dramatically, nothing beats a hot, comforting bowl of nutritious soup. It’s the perfect way to welcome the coldest season of the year, chase away the winter chill and heal the gut.
These naturally sweet and savory ingredients mixed together are delicious. There’s also a touch of cayenne pepper and turmeric powder for that extra kick. This recipe also fits into paleo, GAPS, keto, and whole30 diets.
A good instant pot, homemade broth, whether it’s from beef, chicken, fish, or vegetables contains large amounts of minerals and vitamins. These nutrients combined help boost your immune system (especially at this time of the year) and help to heal anti-inflammatory disease along with allergies and asthma.
