​I was making this soup and thinking that Jewish people have known the nourishing and nurturing benefits of a good bone broth for centuries. You may or may not have heard of late how good bone broths are for you, especially for gut disorders. A great cookbook to look at for further broths (stocks) is Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon. This is my recipe for you to try. (Just a little note on bone broths - if you have histamine intolerance then bone broth won't be suitable for you.)

​A warming soup rich in calcium can help soothe tense muscles and encourage sound sleep. Most people know that calcium is important for bone health and strength but did you know that broccoli is a good source of this important mineral? Broccoli also provides vitamin C, some iron and potassium as well as dietary fibre. Broccoli helps protect against cancer due to the indoles it contains. Celeriac gives a rich celery-like flavour and provides dietary fibre too. Fibre is important for healthy digestion.
