Gut Health: What’s Soup Got to Do with It?

When I was learning everything I could about healing my gut, I became aware of how healing and nourishing soups can be. One of the reasons soups can help support the gut is because the vegetables are thoroughly cooked. This makes them much easier to digest compared to raw vegetables. Furthermore, if you use the right type of broth it can be full of collagen which some research has shown that it can support the gut lining and help reduce inflammation.

Soups also take the stress of out cooking! When I was feeling my worst, I didn’t want to spend hours in the kitchen. Soups made my life easier because I could throw ingredients in my crockpot and come back to a delicious soup that I could enjoy the rest of the week. The less stressed I was, the stronger my digestion could be. I think it is important to note that everyone and every body is different so it is important to listen to your body and do your own research!

How to Make Gut Healing Crockpot Chicken Soup

This recipe literally couldn’t be any easier to make! I love meal prepping this soup on the weekend so that I have a delicious, healthy and easy lunch or dinner the rest of the week.

To start, place the chicken in the bottom of the crockpot. I like to butterfly the chicken breasts before putting them into the crockpot but this is an optional step. I find that the chicken gets even more tender and juicy this way.
Cut the carrots, scallions and celery and add them to the crockpot on top of the chicken.
Add the bone broth, salt, pepper, parsley, water and cauliflower rice and stir with a spoon. Cook on low heat for 6 hours.
Remove the chicken and shred it with a fork. Place the shredded chicken back into the crockpot with the remaining ingredients, stir together and enjoy!
