Turmeric Rutabaga Soup Recipe

Considering the high amount of fiber and protein that this soup contains, it can be served as a full meal in itself. The turmeric adds a nice flare, but it also holds its own benefits. Turmeric is known to be a spice used to help prevent cancer, to treat stomach ulcers, and acts as an anti-inflammatory.
