Anti-Inflammatory Turmeric Vegetable Soup

This vegetable soup is a comforting, simple addition to an anti-inflammatory diet. A diet rich in anti-inflammatory foods, believe the researchers at the University of Alabama, can reduce the severity of painful inflammation. The ingredients in this soup are known anti-inflammatory agents and, when added to a healthy gluten-free diet, can greatly improve your overall health and ease the pain of both acute and chronic inflammation.
