Candida Diet Friendly Herbed Vegetable Soup
This deeply satisfying pot of vegetables is exactly the kind of meal that feels nourishing from the first spoonful — colorful, fragrant, and built entirely from whole, clean ingredients. Carrots, zucchini, green beans, celery, and spinach all simmer together in a savory chicken broth seasoned with thyme, oregano, and a touch of turmeric, creating layers of flavor without relying on anything processed or sugar-laden. Managing a candida-conscious diet often means scanning labels obsessively and second-guessing packaged soups that sneak in starches, sweeteners, or fermented additives — this one sidesteps all of that entirely. The apple cider vinegar stirred in at the end adds a bright, clean finish that lifts the whole bowl without overwhelming it. A splash of olive oil, four cloves of garlic, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper round out the seasoning in the most straightforward way possible. Fresh parsley on top is optional but adds a pop of color and a herby note that makes it feel a little more special. Serves four, and it reheats beautifully for easy lunches throughout the week.
