Healing Properties of Potatoes

Potatoes are antiviral, antifungal and antibacterial, with nutritional cofactors and coenzymes plus bioactive compounds to keep you healthy and assist you with stress.When health professionals think about the potato, they think it is void of nutrients, which couldn’t be further from the truth. Potatoes are high in Zinc and L-Lysine which are antiviral compounds and critical in stopping viruses, the very thing behind lupus, multiple sclerosis (MS), rheumatoid arthritis, neurological Lyme disease, chronic fatigue syndrome, Reynaud’s syndrome, vertigo, POTS, endometriosis, PCOS, fibroids, and so much more. Health professionals will tell a patient struggling with endometriosis or PCOS to eat butter, cheese, and eggs, but to stay away from potatoes. Potatoes are an antiviral food and can stop pathogens from growing; whereas dairy products, the food many people put on top of their potatoes, are what feed viruses, grow pathogens, and can accelerate disease

Cauliflower helps the thyroid and the rest of the endocrine system to stave off the viruses that are truly behind issues such as thyroiditis. Cauliflower is a nutrient rich vegetable that is excellent for supporting a strong immune system and optimum health. Cauliflower is incredibly high in vitamin C, K, and B-complex and minerals such as boron, calcium, molybdenum, and tryptophan. It is also a good source of high quality protein that is easily assimilated into the body. Cauliflower contains powerful anti-cancer compounds such as indole-3-carbinol and sulforaphane which are particularly beneficial for helping to prevent breast, cervical, ovarian, colon, stomach, and prostate cancers. 

This creamy, dreamy roasted potato and cauliflower soup makes a wonderful appetizer or pair it with a salad or another vegetable dish for a main meal. This recipe can be made with almond milk for a richer soup, or choose the fat-free option for a more healing alternative that still tastes fantastic.

Potato & Cauliflower Soup

Ingredients:

• 1 head of cauliflower, cut into florets
• 4 potatoes, roughly chopped
• 1 cup roughly chopped onion or leek
• 5 garlic cloves
• 3 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary
• 3 cups Healing Broth
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or substitute with 1 cup of Healing Broth)
• Sea salt, to taste (optional)
• Black pepper, to taste

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 400F/200C.

Place the cauliflower, potatoes, onions, whole garlic cloves, and rosemary in a baking tray and season with some sea salt (optional) and black pepper. Stir well, then place in the oven for 40-50 minutes, until cooked through and just slightly charred.

When the veggies are ready, reserve 1 heaping cup of them as garnish. Remove the garlic cloves from the pan and move all the roasted vegetables into a large pot. Squeeze the garlic out of its skins and add them in too.

Pour in the Healing Broth and almond milk or optional extra Healing Broth and bring to a simmer. Cook for 5 minutes, then add the lemon juice and remove from heat.

Blend the soup until smooth either using a stick blender or in a jug blender (in batches). Add a bit more stock or almond milk if a thinner consistency is preferred.

Taste and adjust the seasoning.

Serve topped remaining veggies and a sprinkle of black pepper.
