New Year, Blue Soup

Happy New Year! With the celebrations marking the end of last year and the start of the next last night many of us will now be deciding on our New Year’s resolutions (and hopefully haven’t broken any yet…). Whatever they are we wish you all the luck and strength to keep them. To see in a healthier start to 2019 we’re sharing a recipe for blue soup that even Bridget Jones could be proud of. As opposed to blue string to colour our dish though we’ve used colourful potatoes instead – a slightly healthier alternative we think.

Our naturally purple potatoes are rich in antioxidants and the deeper the colour the more intense the concentration. This makes them great for detoxing as they can prevent or delay cell damage and remove potentially damaging agents in the body. Anthocyanin is quite common in purple potatoes, a type of antioxidant that lays claim to a variety of health benefits including improved cardiovascular health, dementia prevention and increased longevity. Add to this the fact that they’re delicious and it’s a win win!
