Not every day calls for indulgent, rich meals – some days, your body simply craves something warm, comforting, and easy on the gut. A nourishing bowl of soup can do just that: soothe digestion, feel light yet satisfying, and still deliver on essential nutrients. When comfort food meets gut-friendly ingredients and high-protein goodness, it becomes more than just a meal – it’s a reset. And if you’re looking for a simple, wholesome recipe that ticks all these boxes, this one might be just what you need.
Ava Axelrood, an online fitness coach specialising in nutrition, gut, and hormone health, has shared a recipe for a high-protein, anti-inflammatory soup designed to support digestion and promote a gut reset. In an Instagram video shared on April 11, the fitness coach explains, “My go-to detox meal that helps with gut reset and digestion. I love prepping this for after travel, especially when my digestion needs support. Nutrient-dense, easy to digest, and strengthens your gut lining to have you glowing from the inside out.”

Health benefits
Ava recommends choosing a good-quality bone broth available at your local market. One simple way to identify a high-quality option, she notes, is its texture – it should appear slightly gelatinous when set. Naturally rich in collagen and amino acids, bone broth can help support gut health and aid digestion.
The recipe also includes ground turkey, a lean source of high-quality protein that supports muscle health and keeps you feeling full. Meanwhile, according to Healthline, carrots and zucchini add a boost of fibre, which plays a key role in digestion – helping to relieve constipation, support gut function, and promote a healthy microbiome.
