Why It’s Healthy and Bloat-Free:

This soup is designed to be light and easy on the stomach, making it a great bloat-free meal. The use of low-sodium vegetable broth reduces excess salt intake, which can often contribute to bloating. The vegetables and spices included are high in fiber and anti-inflammatory properties, aiding in digestion and helping to reduce bloating. Ginger and turmeric, in particular, are known for their digestive benefits, soothing the gut and promoting overall digestive health. This makes the Autumn Harvest Soup not only nourishing but also gentle on your digestive system, perfect for enjoying throughout the fall and winter seasons.
