Jump to Recipe

Happy New Year! Here’s a quick + easy Turmeric Beef Soup recipe to kick off the year in a good way. Hearty, healthy, + full of flavor. Gluten free, low carb, + keto.

Every day is another opportunity to make a change. Every turning point gives us a chance to evaluate what’s working + what’s not.

Hello, 2021. I am so happy that you are here.

And like always, I am recommitting to my own personal health journey. No big resolutions. No unrealistic goals. Just an affirmation of my continued commitment to keep on my path to wellness.

And that’s what I wish for you all for 2021. Wellness in all aspects of life. Because health is wealth, and without it, nothing else really matters.

So let’s get to it with another nutrient-dense, quick + easy soup recipe full of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory foods. This healing soup is so full of flavor + loaded with vegetable goodness. Your body will thank you.

It’s perfect on a cold winter day. It’s perfect to feed a hungry family. Add a big fat green salad + you’re good to go.

It’s not uncommon to over-indulge over the holidays. That’s why soups like this are so great this time of year.

Holiday baking season gets the best of most of us so January often has me making my Detox Cabbage Soup, Ultimate Green Soup, Curried Cauliflower + Kale Soup, and Anti-Inflammatory Turmeric Ginger Broccoli Cauliflower Soup on repeat.

This delicious beef soup ticks all the boxes for me: good quality protein, loaded with vegetables, full of healing spices, + super easy to make. Wholesome grass fed beef, celery, cauliflower, + a flavorful broth with garlic, ginger, turmeric, cumin, + cinnamon. Mmmmmm…. so good!

It has me feeling so cozy + warm and will definitely be a regular this winter.

As usual, it’s gluten free + grain free. It’s also low carb + keto-friendly.

    Wow! This soup is so good! The spices make the flavor unique and so satisfying. I didn’t have fresh turmeric, so used a bit more of the powder, used 1/2 veggie broth and 1/2 chicken bone broth, and used the whole head of cauliflower, more that 4 cups. Thanks so much for your delicious recipes! I have never been disappointed.

      I haven’t tried this soup in the IP. You could do the first step on saute mode and then add your veggies in. You would need to experiment with the cook time. I usually start with 6-8 minutes. I would add the kale in after pressure cooking and let it wilt in the hot soup. Hope that helps.
