In a new era of beauty and wellness, research is showing skin health, hair health and overall well-being start with the foods that we put into our body. This is a cozy collagen-rich soup packed with anti-inflammatory ingredients that will sooth your gut (and soul) and have you glowing from the inside out. The below ingredients each serve a unique purpose to create a pot of wellness gold.

The active compound in turmeric, curcumin, is one of the most thoroughly researched anti-inflammatory properties in nutrition. Studies have proven it to have a positive influence on inflammatory pathways, especially when consumed with black pepper and healthy fats that we also see in this recipe glow soup.

Garlic provides sulfur-containing compounds that help regulate inflammatory responses and support immune and cardiovascular health.

Bone broth is liquid gold for gut and skin health. It supplies collagen-supporting amino acids such as glycine, proline, and glutamine, which help support the gut lining and reduce inflammation.

Carrots have high levels of beta-carotene, and they support skin health by helping protect against skin disruptors and promoting an even complexion. They are also filled with antioxidants that help reduce inflammation and support immune function.

Farro is a fiber-rich whole grain that feeds beneficial gut microbes, promoting fermentation that produces short-chain fatty acids linked to better digestive health and reduced inflammation. Whole grains like farro also deliver antioxidants and other nutrients that can help reduce inflammation and support clearer, healthier skin. Current nutrition science reviews show that whole grain intake is consistently associated with improved gastrointestinal health and that diets rich in whole grains can benefit skin through anti-inflammatory pathways.

Olive oil is rich in monounsaturated fats and polyphenols making it a cornerstone ingredient in anti-inflammatory eating. Research shows it supports skin elasticity and cellular health making it a key tool for glowing inside and out.

Onions are rich in flavonoids, such as Quercetin, which are natural compounds with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that support immunity and chronic inflammation.

Kale is packed with tons of antioxidants such as vitamin A, C, and K, which support skin health, collagen production, and oxidative stress reduction. Its anti-inflammatory properties work at the cellular level to support clearer skin, stronger hair, and overall better health.

Simmer a pot, nourish your body, and let every spoonful remind you that true glow begins from within.
