Curried Vegetable Soup
This brightly-colored, full-flavored, hearty Curried Vegetable Soup is an autoimmune protocol-friendly adaptation of a meal I used to make all the time with lots of curry powder. Mostly because I always seemed to have too much of the stuff lying around, but also because you never need an excuse to eat a healthy meal, especially when it takes hardly any effort to prepare. With six different types of veggies (seven if you count the garlic!), rounded out with a cheap cut of beef, this soup certainly fits the bill. It’s ready in just over 30 minutes and if you want to make it stretch a little further, you can add more broth for a thinner consistency. (Make it bone broth for the most health benefits.) You can also sub the zucchini for yellow squash or use a mixture of both. Also feel free to adjust the seasonings to taste or to use curry powder instead if you aren’t following the autoimmune protocol!
Keep Your Health on Track
Whether you’re starting the autoimmune protocol, a new medication, an exercise routine or trying to get to the bottom of your headaches or indigestion, cataloging your activities and symptoms is a great way to gauge your progress. The Ultimate Health Journal can help you stay on track with diet, fitness, and other lifestyle changes you have begun or been prescribed, notice patterns in your health and lifestyle so you can enact positive changes, and provide a valuable tool for you, your family, and your healthcare team. I would never have noticed that cinnamon makes me sneeze or dairy gives me hiccups without keeping a written record during my elimination diet, which helped me see the patterns that solved my problems!
