Nutritional advice

by Sylvie Dejardin

This soup is packed full of vegetables rich in antioxidants, such as beetroot and carrots. The more colorful a dish is, the better it will taste and the more vitamins, minerals, polyphenols, etc. it will contain.  Rich in fiber, it is lovely and filling, as well as being good for healthy intestines. Potatoes are a good source of carbohydrates and therefore energy. To be eaten as a starter or as a main course in the evening meal.
