    With the cold of winter upon us, there is nothing more comforting and filling than a hot bowl of soup!  I wanted to share a meal that is comforting, nutritious and economical. This Mexican white bean soup fit the bill and, if you are on the GAPS diet, it is GAPS legal!

    Having a large family, budget friendly meals are essential. That is one reason I love recipes which include dried beans. To make beans even more economical, I buy them in bulk - they keep for long time.

    Not only are dried beans economical, they are a powerhouse of nutrition. The amount of nutrients per calorie of beans is higher than many other foods.

    How To Prepare The Beans To Make Mexican White Bean Soup

    They are packed with protein, complex carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals, not to mention fiber. Like all grains, legumes do contain phytic acid (an anti-nutrient) which should be neutralized in order for your body to absorb the most nutrients possible from your food.

    This is done most easily by soaking before cooking with a couple of tablespoons of lemon juice, whey or even vinegar. See Grain Preparation for further information.

    Your gut health plays a central role in nutrient absorption, and affects all other systems in your body. The bacterial cultures in your intestines are an often overlooked and neglected part of the average diet.

    Known as the "second brain", your gut has more than 100 million neurons, and needs to be nourished.

    You'll find recipes here that focus on prebiotic ingredients, whole vegetables, and probiotics like kefir, sauerkraut and cheese.
