About the Recipe
Imagine starting your day with a nourishing bowl of breakfast soup—light yet comforting, packed with nearly 30 grams of protein and fiber-rich ingredients that leave you feeling vibrant and energized. The best part? This soup isn’t just for breakfast—it’s a versatile dish that can be enjoyed any time of the day when you’re craving something wholesome and flavorful.
The base of the soup begins with rich, homemade bone broth, a nutrient powerhouse. Bone broth is packed with collagen and amino acids, supporting joint health, gut healing, and boosting your immune system. It’s the ultimate comfort food that’s also working hard to keep you feeling strong.
Soft-boiled eggs provide a creamy texture and an extra punch of protein making this soup a great way to stay full and energized throughout your morning—or evening! These eggs are easy to digest and rich in healthy fats that balance hormones and support brain function. Choline, found in soft-boiled eggs, is essential for brain health, supporting cognitive function, memory, and nerve signaling, while also playing a key role in liver function and fat metabolism.
Leeks and carrots add a natural sweetness, while delivering a healthy dose of vitamins and fiber. Carrots are rich in beta-carotene, which promotes glowing skin and sharp vision, while also supplying fiber to aid digestion. Leeks, packed with vitamin K, offer additional fiber to keep you feeling full and support heart health by reducing inflammation. The ginger and turmeric not only bring warmth and flavor but also boast potent anti-inflammatory and antiviral properties, making them ideal for boosting your immune system and aiding digestion—perfect for starting your day on a clean, light note.
Edamame, rich in plant-based protein and fiber, is also a great source of essential vitamins and minerals like folate, magnesium, and iron, which support heart health, energy production, and muscle function.
A sprinkle of fresh cilantro at the end adds a burst of brightness and flavor while acting as a natural detoxifier. Cilantro can help your body get rid of heavy metals and promotes overall digestive health, further contributing to the fiber content.
To elevate this breakfast soup even further, we can't forget the addition of nori—those delicate, paper-thin seaweed sheets that not only add a hint of umami but also pack an impressive nutritional punch. Nori is incredibly rich in minerals like iodine, which supports thyroid health and metabolism, along with calcium, magnesium, and iron—essential for bone health, muscle function, and oxygen transport in the body. Plus, nori is a great source of potassium, which helps balance fluid levels and support cardiovascular health. Its high mineral content, combined with vitamins A, C, and E, makes it a true nutrient powerhouse.
Altogether, this breakfast soup offers more than 20 grams of protein and plenty of fiber, making it a filling, balanced meal. Whether you enjoy it first thing in the morning or as a light evening meal, you’ll love how good it makes you feel—nourished and satisfied, any time of the day!
