When it comes to hormone health, it’s no secret I’ve been on quite a journey. And if you’ve read my in depth post on how I healed my hormones naturally or have seen the results for my recent at home thyroid test, you’ll know this recipe has been a long time coming. Like most WSS creations, it’s easy to make and focused on helping you heal/support your body naturally. There’s a lot of nourishment happening in today’s hormone happy vegetable soup. So let’s dive in, talk details and help you understand some of my faves that you can use too!
I’m always on the hunt for foods I can add in easily that also help me support my ever fluctuating hormone health. And my most recent discovery is kelp noodles. Throughout the years, we’ve used a lot of noodle alternatives in the WSS household. But the kelp adds in the extra iodine boost I find I most often need to support my thyroid.
I also love using bone broth as the base when it comes to making vegetable recipes. It’s an easy way to bulk up the protein content of a dish when you don’t want/have time to prep a meat. If you don’t have chard, you can swap in a different green for your vegetable soup. We know I love finding ways to sneak magnesium into my diet and chard is a great source!

Here’s what you’ll need to make your soon to be newest obsession:
onion
carrots
chard
garlic
salt
pepper
turmeric
How To Store & Reheat
If you read my fridge organization post, you’ll know I love using tall jars to maximize on space in the fridge. It’s much easier to serve soup as leftovers when you can easily pour it from a jar into your bowl. This soup will keep in the fridge for a couple of days and is easily reheated in the microwave or on the stove. Additionally, you could portion out individual servings and freeze them in stasher bags for later consumption.
