This Medical Medium friendly garlicky potato soup is a healing powerhouse.
Garlic is highly medicinal! “One raw crushed clove of garlic contains the antibiotic equivalent of 100,000 units of penicillin” – Anthony William, Life Changing Foods.
If you or anyone in your family has a hard time eating garlic, this soup is an easy way of getting garlic into the body.
Have you ever avoided the potato at a meal because you were worried that it would cause weight gain?
Well, let’s be honest, most of the potatoes people eat are filled with other unproductive foods such as cheese and bacon. In this sense, eating a potato will contribute to weight gain and insulin resistance.
However, when properly prepared, a potato can be one of the most healing foods on the menu!
Potatoes are antiviral, antifungal, antibacterial, and they can actually help stabilize blood sugar levels. They are also abundant in L-lysine which inhibits viruses. Furthermore, potatoes help drive bacteria and worms out of our bodies.
This humble vegetable is truly amazing, it even helps to heal the intestinal tract while providing sustenance, in the form of glucose, to the brain and liver.
Enjoy potatoes steamed, without oil, butter, cream, or bacon for maximum healing benefits.
While this garlicky potato soup is an incredibly delicious way to consume potatoes, there are many other options available. The potato is an incredibly versatile vegetable!
A great way to bring more flavor to your potatoes is by adding a low fat or fat free sauce. One of our family favorites is my Creamy Fat Free Cheese Sauce. A super quick and easy dinner is steamed veggies over top of steamed potatoes, with my creamy fat free cheese sauce on top.
Another great way to spice up your potatoes – try my Spicy Potato Pea Mash.
