This healthy anti-inflammatory soup recipe is loaded with nourishing vegetables and spices to not only help reduce inflammation, but also boost immunity and improve your overall wellness. It’s called – Golden Soup – and it’s a spin off of the traditional golden turmeric milk recipe.
The traditional golden milk recipe originates from the Indian culture and is used in Ayurvedic medicine to promote healing and balance in the body. Turmeric is the “star” ingredient in both golden milk and this golden soup recipe and can do wonders with reducing inflammation in the body.

Why You’ll Love This Anti-Inflammatory Golden Soup Recipe
This golden soup is warming, comforting, and healing to the body. I love making it at the height of cold and flu season and especially when I’m sick because it has amazing immune-boosting properties.
The warming spices used in this soup – turmeric, ginger, coriander, etc. – not only make this golden soup extra soothing but also gives it loads of flavor! I like to top it off with some roasted vegetables for the perfect comforting vegan and dairy free healthy soup.

Benefits of This Anti-Inflammatory Golden Soup Recipe
As I stated above, the main spice in this soup recipe is turmeric. Turmeric contains a compound, called curcumin, which has amazing anti-inflammatory properties. And, inflammation is linked to many diseases!
Additionally, curcumin may also help to boost brain health, lower your risk of heart disease, and prevent certain cancers. Consuming turmeric with black pepper can help to maximize the absorption of curcumin by up to 2,000%.

What’s In This Anti-Inflammatory Golden Soup?
This golden soup is loaded with lots of other healthy and immune-boosting ingredients besides turmeric.
- Mixed Vegetables: Cauliflower, Carrots, Butternut Squash, Onion, and Celery give this golden soup a classic vegetable soup savoriness.
- Cashews: To achieve an extra creamy texture without adding cream, I’m using raw cashews.
- Warming Spices: The turmeric, ginger, coriander, black pepper, and cinnamon give this soup recipe a soothing and comforting flavor.
- Roasted Toppings: The toppings are optional but I like to roast some butternut squash, cauliflower, and chickpeas to take the flavor of this soup to the next level.

How to Make This Anti-Inflammatory Golden Soup?
The base of this golden soup is a one pot meal, so it’s super easy to whip up!
- Saute the Vegetables: In a large soup pot, add some oil along with the onion and saute until translucent. Add the remaining vegetables and saute another 5-10 minutes.
- Season the Vegetables: Add all the seasonings to the sauteed vegetables and mix to combine.
- Add Broth & Simmer: Add the broth and simmer until vegetables are tender.
- Blend: Transfer soup to a blender and blend until creamy
- Roasted Vegetables (optional): Top with roasted vegetables.

Storage and Re-heating:
This soup makes 8 servings and will last in the fridge for up to 5 days and in the freezer for up to one month.
To reheat this golden soup, feel free to reheat on the stovetop or in a microwave. If I’m on-the-go, I like to use this portable lunchbox oven.
