Bloating can be uncomfortable and embarrassing, especially after a heavy meal. Fortunately, there are natural solutions to alleviate these symptoms. In this article, we offer you a recipe for an anti-bloating soup that combines flavour and health benefits.
The benefits of the ingredients in anti-ballooning soup
Fennel: A natural antidote
Fennel is known for its carminative properties, which means it helps reduce intestinal gas. As well as its digestive properties, it adds a sweet, aniseed flavour to the soup.
Ginger: A powerful anti-inflammatory
Ginger is another key ingredient in this anti-gas soup recipe. It stimulates digestion, reduces inflammation and helps soothe an upset stomach.
Celery: rich in fibre
Celery is low in calories but high in fibre, which helps to regulate bowel movements. It is also hydrating and refreshing.
Turmeric: a superfood
Turmeric is famous for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It helps to soothe the digestive system and prevent bloating.
Chicken stock: a nourishing base
Nutrient-rich chicken stock is the base for our soup. It’s easy to digest and provides essential minerals for the body.

Preparation
Chop the ingredients

Brown the vegetables
Heat a spoonful of olive oil in a large saucepan. Add the chopped vegetables and fry for around 5 minutes until lightly browned.

Blending the soup
Use an immersion blender to puree the soup smooth. If you prefer a more rustic texture, blend only half the soup.
