If your digestion feels sensitive, sluggish, or overwhelmed, Ayurveda gently reminds us to return to warm, simple, nourishing foods. This gut-healing almond broccoli soup is one of those recipes — comforting, grounding, and easy on the digestive system.

In this recipe, I’m sharing a light Ayurvedic broccoli soup made with garlic, almonds, and gentle spices. It’s creamy without dairy, warming without heaviness, and perfect for supporting gut health, digestion, and overall balance.

Why This Almond Broccoli Soup Supports Gut Health

According to Ayurveda, digestion (Agni) thrives on warmth, simplicity, and mindful preparation. Although broccoli can feel heavy when eaten raw or undercooked, slow cooking and blending transform it into a nourishing, gut-friendly meal.

Additionally, almonds and ghee provide grounding nourishment, while garlic and spices gently stimulate digestion without irritation.

As a result, this soup is ideal when:

• Digestion feels weak or bloated

• You want a light but satisfying meal

• You’re following a detox or seasonal reset

• Cold weather calls for warming foods

Ingredients for Almond Broccoli Soup

• 1 small broccoli, chopped

• 3–4 cloves garlic, finely chopped

  (or coconut oil or olive oil)

• 1 tsp dried or fresh oregano

• 4 whole black peppercorns

How to Make Gut-Healing Almond Broccoli Soup

1. Cook the Broccoli

First, heat ghee in a pan on low flame.
Add garlic and sauté gently until aromatic — avoid browning.
Next, add oregano and whole black peppercorns.
Then, add chopped broccoli and sauté for 1–2 minutes.

2. Simmer

Add water and cook on low heat until the broccoli becomes very soft and mashable, about 10–15 minutes.

3. Blend

Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
Blend with 1 cup almond milk until smooth and creamy.

4. Finish

Return the soup to the pan and reheat gently.
Add salt, black pepper, nutmeg (if using), and remaining almond milk to adjust consistency.
Simmer briefly and serve warm.
