This cream of broccoli and zucchini soup is a delicious way to improve your gut and mental health!

Did you know that broccoli has bioactive compounds and phytochemicals that have powerful health-promoting effects on the body?

Broccoli plays a major part in balancing gut microbiota and decreasing inflammation. Mental well-being is increased as a result, along with a whole lot of other physical benefits.

It is often said that if you are going to eat one vegetable alone, broccoli would be the safe bet for optimum nutrition.

The skin on zucchini offers folate, which is essential for producing red and white blood cells. Particularly important for times of rapid growth, as in pregnancy, infancy, and adolescence. Your growing children will benefit (and love!) this soup.

Strengthening the immune and promoting collagen, this soup does more than satisfy the taste buds!

Enjoy every mouthful. Slowly.

Healing inflammatory bowel conditions like ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, and diverticulitis can be a truly enjoyable experience with Eat Burn Sleep. This Regular Shakshuka is a perfect example of how food can be both therapeutic and delicious.

Each ingredient in this dish is carefully selected to provide healing macro and micronutrients while remaining easy to digest. Tomatoes are packed with lycopene, an antioxidant known for its anti-inflammatory properties. Bell peppers offer high levels of vitamins A and C, which help regulate the immune system. Garlic and onions not only add depth of flavor but also support the gut with natural prebiotic compounds.

Eggs, the main protein source in shakshuka, deliver essential amino acids, B vitamins, and choline to support brain health, cell repair, and energy production. Olive oil offers healthy monounsaturated fats that reduce inflammation and support cardiovascular and digestive health.

This shakshuka is more than just a comforting meal. It’s part of a dietary approach designed to restore gut health, support immune function, and help regulate inflammation throughout the body. By choosing anti-inflammatory meals like this, you actively promote a balanced gut microbiome, which plays a central role in long-term health and disease prevention.

Enjoy this Regular Shakshuka for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, knowing that each bite contributes to gut healing and full-body well-being. Members experiencing IBD should also visit the platform’s Expert Advice section for tailored support and deeper guidance on managing and putting chronic inflammatory conditions into remission through lifestyle and nutrition.

Ingredients

  • 1 2/3 cup or 400g of chopped tomatoes (1 can)
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 chopped fresh or frozen onion
  • 1 tbsp of garlic purée (or 2 crushed garlic cloves)
  • 1 tsp of paprika
  • 1 tsp of ground cumin
  • 1 tsp of turmeric
  • 1 tsp of sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp of ground pepper
  • 1 tbsp of fresh coriander to decorate
  • 1 tbsp of olive oil

Directions

  1. Fry the onions and garlic with the olive oil in a pan on medium heat for about 5 minutes until the onions are soft and a good amount of moisture has come out of them.

  2. Add the chopped tomatoes, spices, and salt.

  3. Cook on medium heat for a further 5 minutes.

  4. Crack the eggs in, and cover, leaving an opening for the excess water to evaporate. Cook for another 5 minutes.

  5. Decorate with the chopped herbs.

  6. Serve and enjoy! Ps: you can use chives or parsley instead of coriander. Dried chives work great too if you don’t have fresh herbs.
