Ginger & Turmeric Carrot Soup
In the fall and winter months, I tend to enjoy warming food like delicious bowls with curry, soups and oatmeal with the tastiest spices and herbs most of all. I also love stews, warm apple compote and hotchpotch. Not only do my taste buds get a huge boost from this kind of food, my digestion really benefits, too. This tasty and easy-to-make turmeric & ginger carrot soup is one of my favorites at the moment. It’s very warming and it has powerful anti-inflammatory properties because of ginger and turmeric.
