    If you’ve never heard of the Daniel Fast, you’re not alone. Inspired by the Biblical story of Daniel in which Daniel forgoes “royal food” (meats, wine, etc.) to strengthen his relationship with God, this ancient inspiration has become a popular activity in recent years for many churches to improve health, spiritual connection, and overall well being.

    It’s a great reset for the body at the beginning of the year, but doing a Daniel Fast for a few days at the beginning of each month is also starting to catch on. Permitted foods include vegetables, some whole grains, and some fruits. Animal-based products (meat, fish, dairy) are not permitted.

    If the idea of chowing down on plates of veggies each day doesn’t have you feeling inspired, there’s a great way to make your Daniel Fast a delight – soups! 

    They’re wholesome, nourishing, healthy, and absolutely delicious. Here are some of the best Daniel Fast soup recipes out there.

    Frequently Asked Questions 

    Can you have broth on the Daniel Fast?

    You can’t have any meat or seafood broths on the Fast, but you can have vegan broth like vegetable and mushroom as long as there is no sugar.

    Are all vegetarian recipes okay for a Daniel Fast?

    Some vegetarian recipes may contain things like eggs, bread, honey, or sugar, which are not permitted for a Daniel Fast. Vegan recipes tend to be better options to start from, but make sure that you check the recipe for any foods that are not permitted by preparing for the Daniel Fast.

    Can you eat pasta on a Daniel Fast?

    Yes, whole grain pasta and other grains like quinoa and brown rice are allowed. White pasta, white rice, and other overly processed grain products and all bread products with yeast are not allowed.

    Top Tips

    To bring out more flavor to any of these recipes, add fresh herbs instead of dried. A sprinkle of fresh parsley or fresh basil provides a vibrant zing to any soup recipe.

    A splash of lemon juice brightens the flavor of most vegan soups. Other flavor boosters include a bay leaf (just remember to remove the bay leaves before serving!), a sprinkle of black pepper or chili powder, or a couple garlic cloves.

    If you’re experimenting, it’s always a good idea to take a couple of tablespoons of the soup out of the pot and add whatever you’re thinking would taste good. It will, of course, taste even better after cooking for a bit, but at least you’ll know right away if it won’t work.

    Chop ingredients into bite-sized pieces. Soup should be able to be eaten with a spoon and not need a knife to cut things up in the bowl!

    If you’re making a soup with pasta or rice, you won’t want to freeze it. Freezing and thawing soups with grains or pasta tend to get an unpleasant texture. Simply freeze the soup without the rice or pasta and add it when you reheat it.
