This is a great soup for eating in the evening combining anti-inflammatory herbs and vegetables and providing a nutritious meal and soothing properties for the digestive system. You will sleep well and wake up full of energy! If you find this soup too light as an evening meal, simply eat alongside a portion of omega 3 fatty fish (salmon, sardines, herring, mackerel, anchovies).
Personally, suffering from fructose malabsorption I just leave out the broccoli from the recipe, if there are any vegetables that you don’t digest well (we are all different) or simply don’t like, just leave them out. Enjoy!
