Enjoy this 20 minute, one-pot, clean-eating and detoxing soup! We added 2 versions of this soup below.
One medium carrot contains 204% of your daily recommended value of vitamin A, which is the vitamin responsible for maintaining the health of your eyes. Carrots are also a good source of vitamins K and C. Vitamin K aids your blood’s ability to clot and contributes to bone strength and kidney health. Remember that vitamins A and K are fat soluble, so be sure to pair your carrots with some form of healthy fat to ensure absorption! The vitamin C in carrots combats free radicals, which leads to vibrant, glowing skin! C also helps maintain a healthy immune system, strong teeth and gums and helps your body absorb iron from plant foods. Eat up!
Ginger has been used as a natural remedy for many ailments for centuries. Fresh ginger is a powerful anti-inflammatory superfood. It enhances immunity and also helps with nausea, among many other benefits. Adding in some turmeric brings this soup to another anti-inflammatory level!
