The Natural Power

Collagen supplements may come in different forms but collagen powder for me is the easiest one to take. You can add it to your coffee or shake, or even to your soup. Here's a healthy soup recipe you can try.

Bacon, Tomato, and Collagen Soup

Ingredients:
5 slices bacon (pork or turkey)
2 medium carrots (chopped)
1 medium onion (diced)
2 tbsp minced garlic
1 ½ tbsp tomato paste
1 tbsp flour
4 cups vegetable broth
½ tsp thyme
1 can whole tomatoes
1 medium zucchini squash (grated)
4 scoops Collagen-9
Optional: ½ can coconut cream (for a creamier texture)

Instructions:
1. In a large pan, cut bacon into small pieces and fry until brown.
2. If using pork bacon, pat out the grease with a paper towel and set aside.
3. In leftover grease, add carrots, onion, and garlic and sauté until tender.
4. Add tomato paste and flour, stirring until incorporated.
5. Add vegetable broth, thyme, and grated zucchini. Let simmer.
6. Add whole tomatoes and the extra juice to a bowl and smash, then pour into the pan.
7. Blend until smooth. Add in collagen protein and cream if desired.
8. Garnish with bacon.
