Miracle Blood Sugar-Balancing Vegetable Soup

🥣 Miracle Blood Sugar-Balancing Vegetable Soup

(A nutrient-packed, fiber-rich recipe to help stabilize glucose levels naturally!)

📝 Ingredients

• 2 medium potatoes (peeled, cubed — leave skin on for extra fiber)

• 1 large carrot (chopped)

• 1 bell pepper (diced, any color)

• ¼ small cabbage (shredded)

• 2 celery stalks (sliced)

• 1 onion (diced)

• 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth (or water + 1 tsp salt)

• 1 tsp dried basil (or fresh)

• 1 tsp dried parsley (or fresh)

• 2 garlic cloves (minced, optional for extra flavor)

• 1 tbsp olive oil (optional)

Secret Add-Ins for Blood Sugar Support:

• 1 tsp apple cider vinegar (boosts metabolism)

• ½ tsp turmeric (anti-inflammatory)

• 1 cup spinach (added last minute, for magnesium)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Sauté Aromatics:

   • Heat oil in a pot. Add onion, celery, and garlic (if using). Cook until soft (~3 mins).

2. Add Veggies & Simmer:

   • Toss in potatoes, carrot, pepper, cabbage, basil, parsley, turmeric, and broth.

   • Bring to a boil, then reduce heat. Cover and simmer 20-25 mins until veggies are tender.

3. Final Touches:

   • Stir in spinach and apple cider vinegar. Cook 1 more minute.

   • Season with salt/pepper to taste.

💡 Why It Works for Blood Sugar

• High Fiber: Slows glucose absorption (thanks to cabbage, celery, and potato skins).

• Low Glycemic: Non-starchy veggies balance the potatoes’ carbs.

• Anti-Inflammatory: Turmeric and vinegar improve insulin sensitivity.

Pro Tip: Pair with a lean protein (grilled chicken, tofu) for even steadier blood sugar.

⚠️ Important Notes

• Not a medical treatment: Consult a doctor for personalized diabetes management.

• For deeper impact: Swap white potatoes for sweet potatoes (lower glycemic index).

A bowl of this soup keeps you full, energized, and blood sugar happy! 🩸✨
