If you want to heal your gut, homemade soup might just deserve the #1 spot in your meal plan.
This fragrant carrot soup isn’t just comforting, it’s an anti-inflammatory powerhouse loaded with healthy fats and gut-healing bone broth. It’s also dairy-free, paleo-friendly and can be made in a low FODMAP version. It is a perfect staple for anyone with autoimmune disease or food intolerance.
Keep your freezer stocked with homemade bone broth (or stock your pantry with the store-bought version), so that you can easily whip it up on a weeknight. Or make a big batch on the weekend and freeze in small containers for weekday lunches.
