Packed full of veg and local native herbs, this comforting soup gives you a big whack of green in a creamy, zesty, aromatic bowl of warmth. Not only great for flavor, but the Native Peppermint Gum also works wonders for digestion, and the Native Pepper Berry Leaf is full of vitamin E, zinc, and magnesium; not to mention the obvious added bonus of eating Australian and supporting our local producers.

Native herbs have such wonderful, unique flavors however just aren’t as well-known as they should be. That’s why we’re aiming to shed a spotlight on what our rich, vibrant homeland has to offer with our latest release of recipes.
