A big bowl of hot, chunky soup is the ultimate cure for winter blues. Onions, capsicum and carrots simmered with black beans in a rich tomato broth. The added chorizo, smoked paprika and ground chipotle gives a delicious smokiness, and I’ve added shredded chicken breast to bump up the protein and make this a truly satisfying meal.
I’ve added extra flavour with Grilo Immunity Boost Super Seasoning, which contains immune-supportive organic spices such as turmeric, garlic, ginger and cayenne. The best (secret) ingredient is the added cricket powder; an amazing source of vitamin B12, protein, iron, and all 9 essential amino acids (making it the ideal ‘complete protein’ source). I’ve added 1 tablespoon of this into the soup; it works as a delicious spice blend with tonnes of hidden benefits.
