Curried Zucchini Soup
What makes this soup gut-friendly?
This curried zucchini soup offers a gut-friendly option by incorporating ingredients that promote digestive health. The base of the soup relies on bone broth, providing a rich source of collagen and amino acids that support gut lining integrity and overall digestive function. The inclusion of yellow onion and garlic brings prebiotics to the mix, encouraging the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut. Zucchini and carrots contribute dietary fibre, aiding in digestion and promoting a healthy gut microbiome. Raw cashews not only add a creamy texture but also provide healthy fats, while the curry powder introduces aromatic spices that may have anti-inflammatory and digestive benefits. With sea salt and black pepper added to taste, this curried zucchini soup becomes a flavourful and gut-friendly option.
