✨ Why Add Essential Oils?

Cooking with doTERRA oils is a beautiful way to infuse your meals with flavor and natural benefits. They’re potent, pure, and a little goes a long way—especially in hearty soups like this one.

These oils support:

• Immune health (oregano, thyme)

• Digestive wellness (celery seed, basil)

• Respiratory comfort (rosemary)

• A rich, herb-filled flavor without needing fresh herbs on hand

Just make sure you’re using CPTG-certified oils—which is why we trust doTERRA.

🍽 Serve It With

• A slice of sourdough

• A sprinkle of Parmesan

• A fresh salad

• Or just a big cozy bowl all on its own
