Soup is one of my favorite recipes to make and eat! I make a big batch of homemade soup every Sunday so that I have easy, healthy lunches throughout the week. Soup is a healthy meal prep food that is also comforting, filling and so nutritious! This creamy veggie soup is made with butter beans for a boost of plant-based protein and fiber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Healthy Soup Recipe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This soup is high in fiber, phytonutrients as well as vitamins and minerals thanks to the sweet potatoes, carrots, red bell peppers, kale, garlic, onion, ginger, turmeric and Italian parsley or cilantro leaves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fiber For Gut Health<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One reason I love soup so much, beyond it being absolutely delicious, is that soup is a great way to add gut supporting fiber to the day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All plant foods (fruits, veggies, whole-grains, nuts, seeds & legumes) contain unique prebiotics, which feed the probiotics or \u201cgood\u201d bacteria in the gut. These prebiotics ferment in the colon and release Short-Chain Fatty Acids (SCFA\u2019s), which go into the body and have numerous benefits from helping to reduce inflammation to preventing chronic disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feeding the \u201cgood\u201d bacteria also supports the gut microbiome, improves immunity, can help with anxiety, support healthy hormone levels (90% of serotonin is produced by the gut), reduce brain fog and more. Each plant food contains unique prebiotics, which is why it\u2019s important to eat a variety in your diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Healthy Cookware and Food Storage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I love using a pressure cooker such as this one<\/a> when making soup because it speeds the process along! I also love the smell and experience of soup simmering on the stove with a classic soup pot such as this one!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One tip when it comes to safe and healthy cookware is to stick to stainless steel, cast iron, glass or ceramic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After I make this soup I store it in the fridge in wide mouth glass jars such as these!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n
