DEBLOAT SOUP 🍜🍄
6 steps
Prep:10minCook:1h
If you’re feeling a little meh, or bloated after the holidays, this might be the perfect food to help. First, let’s remember that being bloated after a big meal is totally normal and is a temporary situation.
This soup is made with easy-to-digest vegetables, is hydrating and high in potassium.
One reason you might feel extra bloated or have extra water retention is that you had a high intake of sodium the day before. This will resolve itself in a short time. To accelerate the process of sodium excretion, you can help by reducing your sodium intake for the day and consuming food high in potassium, which this soup is absolutely packed of; bananas, avocados, and coconut water are also great.
Make sure to hydrate; for this, we love water, of course, but also soup, smoothies and herbal teas. If you’re experiencing digestive symptoms, ginger tea might help.
My secret ingredient to give this soup a yummy umami taste without adding salt or using vegetable stock is to use mushroom powder. It’s super easy to make. Simply blend some dried mushrooms, and use them as needed. Feel free to add a pinch of salt or chilli to your bowl at the end.
Little disclaimer, if you are sensitive to fructan, onions can make you feel bloated. However, cooked onions are easier to digest than raw, which is why I still included them in this recipe.
