The Miraculous Healing Soup That Fueled My Surgery Recovery (and Still Powers My Life)

Miraculous Healing Soup

When preparing for my Xplant (breast implant removal) surgery,

I knew that how I nourished my body before and after would make

a massive difference.

I wanted to reduce inflammation, speed healing, and stay regular

despite the constipation that can come with post-surgery medications.

So I created what I now call my Miraculous Healing Soup—

a vibrant, delicious, nutrient-rich bowl of comfort

that’s become a staple in my kitchen.

I’m excited to share it with you because whether you’re recovering from surgery, fighting inflammation, or just want to feel more energized and nourished—

this soup is pure gold!

🧠💪 Why This Soup Works Like Magic

Let’s break down the healing power behind each key ingredient:

🧄 Garlic, Ginger & Turmeric

These anti-inflammatory heroes support immune function, reduce swelling,

and help detox the body—essential before and after surgery.

Plus, they boost circulation and digestion.

🍄 Mushrooms & Onions

Loaded with antioxidants, these support immune health and help the liver do its job of clearing toxins.

🥕 Root Veggies (Carrots, Beets, Sweet Potato)

Rich in fiber, beta-carotene, and blood-building nutrients, these veggies support gut health, liver function, and energy production.

🌿 Cilantro

Known to help the body bind to and flush out heavy metals—a gentle, natural detox essential post-Xplant, especially if you still have mercury fillings (more gentle than other heavy metal detox’s).

🥑 Avocado & Olive Oil

Healthy fats help your body absorb fat-soluble vitamins and keep you feeling full

and satisfied. They also support hormone balance, skin repair, and brain health.

🧂 Bouillon & Protein Options

Adds depth and makes the soup a complete meal.

Protein is vital for cellular repair and recovery.Organic Veggies for Miraculous Healing Soup

🌟 Pro Tips for Making It Work For You

• Prep ahead of time if you're having surgery, pre-make and freeze soup in containers.  Also teach your friends, family or housekeeper how to make it, since you won’t be able to cut veggies for a little while after surgery. 

• Make it your own: Add leafy greens like kale or spinach at the end, or swap veggies seasonally.

• Stay mindful of coconut post-surgery—it's high in sodium. Use ghee instead during the healing phase.

• Storage Tip: Let the soup cool and divide into portions. Store in the fridge (good for up to 5 days)  For longer storage, freeze portions in freezer-safe containers for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.​
