Vegetable Noodle Soup

This delicious vegetable noodle soup is the perfect healthy, comforting meal. It is packed with vegetables and body-loving ingredients. 

Christmas is behind us, the new year is ahead of us, and the holiday hangover is in full swing. The week between Christmas and New Year’s always feels like a bit of a blur, full of holiday leftovers and attempts to return to a normal schedule. 

While I try to live a well-balanced, wellness-focused lifestyle, I am definitely not one to deprive myself during the holidays. Some of my favorite holiday foods (and cookies!) are definitely not gluten-free and made with superfoods, but they are made with love and are worth enjoying every year. 

Now that I’ve enjoyed my fair share of sugar and soul food, I am ready to start cleaning things back up and getting more nutrients back in my life – and I bet a ton of you are feeling the same way. 

Nearly every year on New Year’s day, it is #MyHolidayTradish for my mom to make a big pot of soup or gumbo for our family. This year, I’m making another soup to add to the spread – one that’s full of veggies for a nutrient boost after all those cookies. 

I partnered with my friends at Whole Foods Market to make this soup for their #MyHolidayTradish campaign. To celebrate your favorite holiday traditions, you can enter the #MyHolidayTradish sweepstakes for a chance to win a year of free groceries from Whole Foods Market here.

This vegetable noodle soup is packed with body-loving ingredients including zucchini noodles, lentils, and turmeric – the perfect anti-inflammatory after all of those holiday goodies. 

If you’re looking to start the New Year on a healthy, plant-based note, definitely give this soup a try. It is filling, delicious and super easy to make, especially after all those New Year’s celebrations 😉
