The Perfectly Paleo, Keto Asparagus Soup With Garlic

With the cold months approaching, it makes sense that we gravitate toward two things: warm meals and items that combat pesky opportunistic pathogens.  Warm meals, like soups, naturally heat the body as it slithers down your throat, esophagus and stomach.  While a myriad of soups will likely tickle your tongue this winter, this Paleo, Keto Asparagus Soup would work the best.

One of the reasons why it is great to ingest this soup in the cold is due to its high garlic content.  You might be asking “Why do I need to eat more garlic in the winter months?”  Well, in the cold months the respiratory ailments, like the flu & the common cold, ratchet up.  We are producing less Vitamin D, since we are no longer in the sun as much,  as well as our nasal cavities are drying out making it easier for opportunistic “bugs” to get into our bodies.
