This warming carrot soup makes approximately three cups.
- 2 medium carrots – grated
- fresh ginger – 1″x 1″ x 1/2″ finely grated (I used a nutmeg grater)
- small clove garlic
- 1 tsp ground turmeric
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp kelp powder
- 1 small avocado
- juice of small lemon
- large handful baby English spinach
- 2 cups water
Put it all into your blender and blend away! The spinach changes the soup from orange to green, and gives you a great greens boost: no green flavour!
Kelp powder is much better for you than salt, as it contains iodine and so helps in supporting your thyroid. *** Note: If you are on thyroid medication, then make sure you consult your doctor regarding iodine in your diet. ***
Turmeric, garlic, and ginger have many wonderful benefits and are particularly good when you’re doing a deep tissue detox.
Lemon juice contains vitamin C, and is a good aid to digestion. Avocado contains healthy fats and adds a creaminess to the soup. For an extra creamy soup, use a large avocado or two small ones.
It is a cold day here Down Under, so this is just what I needed for lunch. I hope you enjoy trying this delicious green soup.
Blessings,
