Here are 5 iron-rich soups that are not only delicious but also great for boosting your energy and overall health — especially helpful for people with low iron levels or anemia:
1. Spinach & Lentil Soup
A powerhouse combo! Spinach is high in non-heme iron and lentils are rich in both iron and protein. Add a squeeze of lemon juice to enhance iron absorption.
2. Beef & Barley Soup
Lean beef is a top source of heme iron (easily absorbed). With hearty barley and veggies, it becomes a comforting, nutrient-dense meal.
3. Chickpea & Tomato Soup
Chickpeas are packed with plant-based iron, and tomatoes add vitamin C which helps your body absorb that iron better.
4. Chicken Liver & Vegetable Soup
Chicken liver is incredibly high in iron. Mix it with carrots, onions, and herbs for a super-nourishing traditional soup.
5. Kale & White Bean Soup
Kale is an iron-rich leafy green, and white beans are a solid plant-based iron source. Together, they create a filling and health-boosting soup.
