Warming Carrot Soup (Blended Greens – Carrots, Ginger, Kelp Powder, Spinach, Avocado)
Written by admin on May 27, 2009 – -
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,
Veronica

when detoxifying the body, i find it much better to use natural products rather than those synthetic detox products. that is why i always go after the natural detox way.

Thank you for sharing this recipe. It is everything that I happen to have in my cupboard. Do you heat this soup once you have blended it?..or will that destroys its benefits?

I have the same question about whether you heat it

Greetings! I believe this is intended to be eaten raw (not heated)… it’s ‘warming’ in the sense that some of the ingredients are ‘spicy’ in nature. I’ve learned that some raw folks like their meals cold; others at room temperature… the choice is yours!
