If I'm having trouble with my stomach and want an easy way to get lots of nutrients into my body easily, I'll go for a gut friendly soup recipe. I'll add lots of herbs and spices that help to soothe my gut and top these soups with some seeds, olive oil or roast veg to give it extra flavour, texture and nutrient power. You can also top with cooked meat, pesto or nuts & seeds to add some crunch.
