Nourishing Turmeric Vegetable Soup (aka Sick Sad Soup)

Nourishing Turmeric Vegetable Soup (aka Sick Sad Soup)


This anti-inflammatory soup has been a major part of my healing arsenal. When I was going through some of the most challenging times in my health journey, I ate this vegetable-packed soup every day for over a year, adding or subtracting ingredients depending on what foods I could tolerate at the time. It is such a flexible recipe, accommodating many types of vegetables, depending on your preference.

I still turn to this recipe when I am in the middle of a flare-up or just want something comforting. My husband and I jokingly refer to this as my “Sick Sad Soup” — any fellow Daria fans out there?


RECOMMENDATIONS

  • I typically use white potatoes but I have also swapped with white sweet potatoes to make it Paleo and AIP compliant.
