This delicious soup is perfect for people dealing with a "nervous stomach" or irritable bowel syndrome. This soup improves digestion and calms the stomach. In general, orange-colored vegetables are beneficial for digestive problems and dark leafy greens improve stress and liver function. As you can see, these two beautiful colors come together in this calming soup. Sweet potato, turkey, and carrots all benefit the digestive system, while marjarom, coriander and turmeric are amazing spices that improve emotional stagnation. This soup can be easily re-heated for a healthy, comforting lunch or dinner.
