Tomato, Carrot, Pumpkin and Seaweed Soup

Why people make this soup

Most of us are exposed to low-level radiation every day — from computer screens, phones, and office equipment. While the science on food and radiation is nuanced, traditional Cantonese food therapy has long pointed to brightly coloured vegetables as allies for keeping the body clear and the skin vibrant. Tomatoes, carrots, and pumpkin are all rich in pectin — a natural dietary fibre that binds to certain waste products and heavy metals in the digestive tract and helps carry them out of the body. Seaweed brings iodine and a range of trace minerals. Together, this cheerful soup is a practical, delicious way to eat more vegetables and support your skin from the inside.
