Golden Coconut Chicken Soup: A Gut-Healing, Gluten-Free Reset in Under an Hour

This recipe is for the person who wants to feel light, grounded, and nourished after a meal instead of bloated, puffy, or foggy. It’s for the one navigating hormonal imbalance, sluggish digestion, post-sugar inflammation, or the uneasy "off" feeling that never quite gets validated by lab tests.

You don’t need another diet. You need food that works with your body. This gluten-free, dairy-free, easy-to-digest soup is designed with fresh, seasonal ingredients and a balanced Ayurvedic approach to support digestion, hormone health, and your nervous system all in one pot.

This isn't just another healthy recipe. It's a thoughtfully layered therapeutic meal built around key digestive and detox-supportive elements:

• Turmeric → anti-inflammatory, liver-supportive, and warming to digestive fire (Agni)

• Fennel bulb → reduces gas and bloating, clears mucus, moves Liver Qi

• Carrot and sweet potato → grounding, slightly sweet, nourishing to Spleen Qi

• Bone broth → gut-healing, mineral-rich, supports hydration and post-stress recovery

• Ginger and garlic → circulation-boosting, Qi-moving, gently antimicrobial

• Coconut milk → a clean dairy-free fat that soothes without clogging

According to Ayurveda, this dish is tridoshic in moderation but especially supportive for Kapha (dampness, mucus, heaviness) and Vata (depletion, cold digestion, bloating). It's also a great choice when transitioning seasons or recovering from a sugar-heavy or inflammatory period.
