This high-protein soup is loaded with beta-carotene, which as a powerful antioxidant can help to reduce the damage caused by excess free radicals in the body. Serving with slices of wholemeal bread will also help with the uptake of amino acids into muscle cells. A sprinkle of seeds will add omega-3 fatty acids.
