When you’re feeling a little queasy or under the weather, sometimes soup is the best thing. Broth isn’t heavy and it’s easy to digest, plus it can be infused with herbs and spices that have healing properties. You can also add ingredients pretty easily that will also promote health and wellness. Here are three soups for an upset stomach.
Thai Tom Yum Gai Soup
This soup is a sour, spicy broth with chicken and vegetables inside which is heavy on lemongrass. Lemongrass is traditionally considered to have healing properties including immune boosting, pain relief, and antioxidants. It’s also heavy on galangal, which can be substituted for ginger, a known anti-inflammatory stomach settler. Leave out the spice when preparing the broth if your stomach isn’t well-adjusted to it.
Turmeric-Ginger Chicken Soup
This healing soup from Martha Stewart is a perfect combination of the anti-inflammatory and immunity-boosting ginger and turmeric with the all-time soothing champ of chicken soup. It comes together quickly thanks to angel hair pasta and pre-cooked rotisserie chicken.
Miso Soup
Miso has lots of probiotics, which means it promotes gut health in the long run. Its salty, umami flavor is also great for soothing an upset stomach, as are the green onions, ginger, and garlic you may choose to add for an extra kick.
