Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Here are some of my favorite tips to ensure your soup turns out perfectly:

• For a richer flavor, use homemade chicken bone broth. If you’re short on time, store-bought is fine, but check for low sodium options.
• Feel free to add other vegetables like zucchini or bell peppers for extra nutrients.
• If you want to make this a heartier meal, consider adding some cooked quinoa or brown rice.
• Don’t skip the fermented sauerkraut! It’s a powerhouse of probiotics that are essential for gut health.
• For a creamy texture, blend a portion of the soup before adding the avocado.

How to Serve

This soup is perfect on its own, but you can elevate your meal by serving it with:

• Crusty whole-grain bread for dipping.
• A side salad dressed with lemon vinaigrette.
• Some of your favorite easy pasta recipes for a complete dinner experience.

It’s a fantastic way to enjoy a healthy gut diet while satisfying your taste buds!

Make Ahead and Storage

This soup is great for meal prep! Here’s how to store it:

• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• You can freeze the soup for up to 3 months. Just make sure to leave some space in the container for expansion.
• Reheat gently on the stove, adding a splash of water or broth if it’s too thick.
