Thai Curry Veggie Soup

I love it when “healthy” dishes are so damn tasty that you forget you’re eating healthy! Packed with flavor (like really, really packed), this Thai Curry Veggie Soup is my favorite thing right now. It’s on the table in under 30 minutes and it’s just so comforting- perfect for this time of year.

You guys. Is everyone around you getting sick? I swear that everyone around us is! I keep hearing of another friend and friends of friends who are falling victim to the flu. Kids are absent at school and I can’t help but notice all the coughing when I’m running errands around town. I do not want to get sick.

I have all sorts of home remedies for fighting flu season. I’m diligent about washing my hands and I make my kids do the same. I drink a ton (and I mean a TON) of water, diffuse essential oils round the clock, and I eat spicy soup. Yep, you read that right- spicy soup. While I realize there is no scientific data to back the spicy soup theory and it might sound kind of weird but I swear by it. Broth-y things just make me feel better. They’re so comforting, you know? And I swear spicy stuff allows me to sweat out the bugs. So whether it sounds weird or not, I’m keeping with it!

This soup I’m sharing today isn’t isn’t spicy on it’s own. I add sliced jalapeños or a big ‘ol glob of sriracha sauce to get my heat. If I’m not fighting a cold or trying to boost my immunity, I’ll eat it as is. This soup is a flavor powerhouse. It’s loaded with veggies and super versatile. You can use whatever veg you have on hand though I love the sweet potato and cauliflower combo. I like to add a squeeze of lime and a bunch of fresh cilantro just before serving!

What is your best tip for staying healthy during flu season? Give it to me! xo, Kelley
