Wild Blueberry Soup

This luscious wild blueberry soup offers such a fun, refreshing, and comforting way to get the unmatched healing benefits of wild blueberries into your diet. It tastes wonderful served cold in the summer or warm in the winter. 

I talk about the incredible healing properties of wild blueberries in all my books for good reason. As I share in my book Life-Changing Foods, “currently, wild blueberries are acknowledged by nutrition experts for their sky-high levels of antioxidants. It goes beyond that—they have the highest proportion of antioxidants of any food on the planet. On top of that, these tiny jewels have a plethora of undiscovered qualities. For one, they’re armed with dozens of antioxidant varieties that science does not yet know about, along with polyphenols, anthocyanins, anthocyanidins, dimethyl resveratrol, and as yet unknown cofactor adaptogenic amino acids. When you eat these berries, their innate intelligence reads your body, searches out potential disease, monitors your stress and toxicity levels, and figures out the best way to heal you—it is the only food that does that. One of the most effective heavy metal detoxing foods. Wild blueberries are also the most powerful brain food in existence, the most potent prebiotic there is, and a star at restoring the liver."
