The weather is getting cooler, and we’re coming up on soup season! Soups are a great way to pamper your body and boost your health. First of all, healing ingredients can be blended and/or simmered, releasing nutrients that stay in the broth rather than being drained away. Pureed soups are easy to digest, and you can load them up with vegetables, herbs, bone broth, and other nutrient-packed ingredients that you might not ordinarily be able to get into a single meal.
When you’re on an anti-inflammatory diet, soups are an excellent staple. They can be loaded up with multiple healthy, inflammation-fighting ingredients that both help soothe inflammation and build the immune system with vital nutrients.
And, a good soup can really hit the spot! Here are three delicious soups that contain antioxidants, inflammation-fighting ingredients, and healing herbs. Whip them up for dinner, and then enjoy the leftovers for tomorrow’s lunch!
Anti-Inflammatory Ginger & Turmeric Carrot Soup
Alyssa of Simply Quinoa is a certified holistic nutritionist, and her recipe for Anti-Inflammatory Ginger & Turmeric Carrot Soup is as healing as it is tasty. It’s packed with nutrients, including ginger (for digestion), turmeric (anti-inflammatory), garlic (anti-microbial) and vitamin A-packed carrots. Coconut milk gives it a smooth, creamy texture…it’s bursting with fall flavor and will quickly become a go-to favorite!

Detoxing Beet Soup
We found this recipe in Parade Magazine, and it’s a keeper! This take on beet soup (or Russian borscht) is packed with nutrient-dense ingredients, and offers healthy fats from olive oil and avocado as well as vegetables that promote detox, curb inflammation, and boost the immune system.
In addition, it’s so simple to make! Just toss all the ingredients into a blender and puree… presto! Done.
You can serve this soup cold, or blend it in a high-speed blender until it’s hot (these blenders are great for creating fast and nutritious soup from simple, fresh ingredients). If you don’t own a high-speed blender, you can warm it on the stove in a saucepan (don’t bring it to a boil).

Green Goddess Immune Boosting Soup
Ready for a blast of vitamins, minerals, and flu-fighting antioxidants? This soup has it all. Yes, it’s green. But that’s because it’s loaded with amazing nutrients! You’ll use chicken stock (use bone broth for even more health benefits), broccoli, spinach, ginger, garlic, turmeric, and black pepper–and, add a splash of wasabi for a little kick.
Puree the ingredients in a high-speed blender (like this) or blend and then gently heat–that’s all it takes to go from zero to soup in a few short minutes!
This recipe was created by Sue Moran and can be found on her blog, The View From Great Island. You’ll find more information on the ingredients of the soup and their healing ingredients on the blog as well!
