All hail the humble cashew, that gives the creaminess to this robust and slightly smoky flavored soup and is also the base of our smoky cashew cream. Once the soup is blended, feel free to bump up the flavor and texture even further by adding your favorite veggies, such as roasted fennel or corn, or beans such as cannellini or navy beans. See the variations for more ideas. Garnish with the smoky cashew cream before serving.

If immune support is top of mind, then Natural Grocers Super Detox Soup may be the perfect addition to your meal plan this week. This soup is hearty, nourishing, and packed with plenty of vegetables to not only support natural detoxification processes, but also overall immune health. This includes immune-boosting powerhouses, shitake mushrooms. Shiitake mushrooms are rich in health-supportive compounds like lentinan, beta-glucans, and carvacrol, which have been shown to scavenge free-radicals, modulate inflammation, and support a healthy immune system response.

This hearty ground elk, beef, and veggie-rich chili may be just the comfort food you need right now. It also supports healthy immunity, especially when you choose to use 100% grass-fed beef. Compared to its conventional counterpart, 100% grass-fed beef is higher in immune-supporting nutrients like vitamin A, zinc, and healthy fats like omega-3s and conjugated linolic acid (CLA). Adequate vitamin A and zinc are foundational for strong, robust immunity, while omega-3s and CLA are important for modulating inflammation and supporting a balanced immune response.
