Why Is It Called Glow Soup?

This soup gets its name from its vibrant, colorful ingredients. Carrots, sweet potatoes, kale, turmeric, and coconut milk are rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and healthy fats that help create a well-balanced meal.

While no single food can make you “glow,” eating a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables is an easy way to increase your intake of beneficial plant compounds that support overall health.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Olive oil
Carrots
Sweet potato
Red bell pepper
Leeks
Bone broth (or water with bone broth concentrate)
Full-fat coconut milk
Ground turmeric
Ground coriander
Ground ginger
Cayenne pepper
Lacinato kale

How to Make Glow Soup

Step 1: Sauté the Vegetables

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the carrots, sweet potato, red pepper, and leeks. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables become tender and the leeks are translucent.

Step 2: Simmer

Pour in the bone broth and coconut milk. Add the turmeric, coriander, ginger, cayenne (if using), and season with sea salt. Bring everything to a gentle simmer, cover, and cook for 15–20 minutes until the vegetables are fork tender.

Step 4: Blend

Using an immersion blender (or carefully transferring to a high-speed blender in batches), blend the soup until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.

Step 5: Garnish & Serve

Ladle the soup into bowls. Top each serving with crispy kale and freshly cracked black pepper if desired. Serve warm.
