Why It’s a Healing Soup for Your Stomach

• Broccoli: Rich in fiber and sulforaphane, broccoli promotes gut health, reduces inflammation, and supports digestion.
• Cauliflower: Loaded with antioxidants and fiber, cauliflower soothes the digestive tract and regulates bowel movements.
• Ginger (Optional): Offers anti-inflammatory properties to calm and heal the stomach.
• Low-Fat and Easy to Digest: This soup is nutrient-dense but gentle on the stomach, making it perfect for daily enjoyment.

Ingredients (Serves 4)

• 1 medium head of broccoli (chopped)
• 1 medium head of cauliflower (chopped)
• 1 small onion (chopped)
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 medium potato (peeled and diced, for creaminess)
• 4 cups vegetable broth (or water)
• 1 cup unsweetened plant-based milk (or regular milk)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional: 1 teaspoon grated ginger or turmeric for extra healing benefits

Instructions

1. Sauté the Aromatics
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, sautéing until fragrant and translucent (2–3 minutes). If using ginger or turmeric, add it now for an extra burst of flavor and anti-inflammatory benefits.

2. Add the Vegetables
Add the chopped broccoli, cauliflower, and potato to the pot. Stir well to coat the vegetables with the aromatics.

3. Pour in the Broth
Pour in the vegetable broth or water, ensuring the vegetables are fully covered. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15–20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

4. Blend the Soup
Use an immersion blender to puree the soup directly in the pot, or transfer it in batches to a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy. Stir in the milk for added richness and adjust the consistency with more broth or milk if needed.

5. Season and Serve
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for a pop of flavor and color.
