Curried Sweet Potato Soup with Collagen

Now that the it’s starting to cooler outside, soup is a definite comfort food and it’s easy to make soup with collagen! Since we offer collagen that is unflavored, adding collagen to soup will not change the flavor and it will make it more nutritious. We recommend adding our Nourishing Collagen to any soup recipe and you can add as much as you want. You cannot overdose on collagen. The more collagen you consume, the more your body can use. The Nourishing Collagen has many healing properties, so eating soup with collagen especially when you’re feeling under the weather can be very beneficial.
