Let’s discover why this soup is so healing… and how to prepare it.
🥦 Why Broccoli and Cauliflower Are Great for the Stomach
Both broccoli and cauliflower belong to the cruciferous family, known for their exceptional health benefits. Together, they help soothe and support the digestive system in several ways:
1. Rich in Fiber
These vegetables aid digestion naturally by:
- Supporting healthy gut movement
- Preventing constipation
- Feeding beneficial gut bacteria (prebiotics)
2. Anti-inflammatory Properties
Stomach discomfort often comes from inflammation. Broccoli contains sulforaphane, a compound shown to:
- Reduce inflammation
- Protect the stomach lining
- Support detoxification
3. Gentle on Digestion
Despite being nutritious, this soup becomes gentle and easy to digest once cooked and blended — perfect for:
- Sensitive stomachs
- Bloating
- Indigestion
- Recovery meals
4. Packed with Vitamins
Broccoli and cauliflower bring:
- Vitamin C
- Vitamin K
- B vitamins
- Antioxidants
All of which support immunity and overall digestive health.
🥬 Celery: The Stomach-Soothing Booster
The image also shows fresh celery — a powerful addition.
Celery is known for:
- Reducing bloating
- Improving fluid balance
- Supporting digestion and detox
- Being naturally alkaline, helping balance stomach acidity
Its fresh, aromatic flavor gives the soup a beautiful depth.
