If you’re looking for a simple side to serve with this soup:
Sauté some turnip greens in a little coconut oil, and sprinkle with Celtic sea salt and shaved, pre-soaked almonds.
Wondering why? Turnip greens are an amazing source of vitamin A (through their concentration of carotenoids, like beta-carotene), vitamin B6, vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin K, folic acid, copper, calcium, and dietary fiber. These nutrients are of special importance when helping to reduce and manage osteoporosis, diabetes, and anemia. Carrots are also rich in vitamins A, K1, and B6, while cauliflower contains vitamins B6, C, K, and folate.
