Over the past few weeks, I’ve shared a lot about gut health – how it affects your energy, your mood, and even your hormones. If you’re wondering how to take all that knowledge and actually put it into action, I’ve got something for you
This Lentil Soup In A Snap is one of my go-to recipes when I need something warm, nourishing, and easy to make. It’s a perfect winter dish, packed with ingredients that your gut will love and gently supports detoxification. Whether you’re easing out of holiday indulgence or simply craving a reset, this recipe is like a big comforting hug for your body.

Why Your Gut Loves This Soup
This soup is more than just comfort food – it’s packed with ingredients that work behind the scenes to support your gut and detox your body:
- Lentils: Packed with fibre, these little gems keep your digestion moving, reduce bloating, and help stabilise blood sugar.
- Garlic: A natural prebiotic that feeds the good bacteria in your gut and supports detoxification by helping your liver clear out toxins.
- Carrots: High in beta-carotene and antioxidants, carrots support a healthy gut lining and fight inflammation.
- Basil: Helps soothe digestion and has antimicrobial properties – perfect for midlife tummies that need a little extra love.
- Lemon Juice: A gentle detoxifier that stimulates digestion and helps flush out toxins.
Need More Than Just A Soup?
Not sure about you but my December is dominated by a string of get-togethers, dinners, and catching up ‘one more time’ before everyone disappears into their winter holidays. It’s all about food and drinks and by the time by the time January rolls in, we’re all feeling it: we’re bloated, sluggish, and so ready for a reset.
