Soups are the ultimate healing foods. Not only are they cozy and comforting, but they’re also very nurturing for your gut. When you have a kind of upset stomach, what do you cook? Probably something with the ginger and maybe something soothing.

Well, hello, there is a Miss Ginger and Turmeric Carrot Soup! The ultimate remedy for upset tummies and people struggling with some digestive issues. This soup is effortless to make, it’s packed with a lot of anti-inflammatory goodies, and it’s all very easy on your system.

Why Are Soups Good for the Digestion?

If you’re just like me and want to know the entire why behind things, let’s chat about how these soups can help your gut be healthy and happy.

1. Soups are Cooked: Cooked foods are typically way more gentle on your digestion system than raw foods, especially when it comes to vegetables. The cooking/heating process breaks down all the cell walls, and your digestive system breaks down the food quickly.

2. Soups are “Chewed”: This relates to the pureed soups (like this Ginger & the Turmeric Carrot Soup) as these kinds of soups have been pureed before you eat. The benefit of eating pureed food is that you are not required to “chew” it. The food gets broken down once it enters your stomach, so it can be effortless to mix with all your digestive juices and gently move through your intestines.

3. Soups (Vegan) are more Nutritious: In addition to them, It is effortless to digest. Most of the time, soups are purely made from nutrient-dense ingredients like herbs, vegetables, spices, and beans. Because the soup is already full of those nutrients AND it’s very easy to digest, your body can absorb more nutrients into the system.

And ultimately, soups will make you feel SO good!

Anti-Inflammatory Ingredients for the Soup

Many people struggle with inflammation, but I have found that it’s more common after the holidays. Why? Because over the summer/winter holidays, we’re eating more food items that may cause inflammation – like gluten, dairy, sugar, alcohol, etc.

For once, I am struggling with some digestive issues, bloat, and even a general feeling of not feeling well.

Enter the anti-inflammatory ingredients: ginger and turmeric!
