Immunity-Boosting Turmeric Soup with Vegetables
This turmeric vegetable soup combines a medley of chopped carrots, broccoli, bell pepper, and zucchini simmered in vegetable broth with coconut milk and fragrant spices. Turmeric and ginger impart a warm, earthy flavor enhanced by lime juice and coconut aminos for a balanced, slightly tangy broth. The addition of rice gives it mild body and substance, making it a nourishing, comforting soup option.
