Arthritis-Friendly Okra Soup

Okra thickens naturally as it simmers, so this soup builds its own body without needing cream or flour — just vegetables, broth, and a good stretch of time on the stove.

Turmeric and ginger are the two ingredients doing the most here, both commonly featured in dishes aimed at people managing arthritis or general inflammation. Spinach stirred in near the end adds color and nutrients without overcooking, and the low-sodium broth keeps the whole pot from leaning too salty.

Simmer the okra until tender, then finish with a scatter of fresh parsley and serve it hot.
