Root Soup

Root Soup

Carrots, turnips, ginger, and turmeric are true nutritional powerhouses. Anti-inflammatory, antioxidant-rich, pain-relieving, germ-fighting, nutrient-dense, and immune-boosting—these are just a few of the qualities that define these humble root vegetables. So why not bring them together in one delicious, heart-warming soup?

From the very first spoonful, this soup feels like comfort and healing in a bowl. It’s nourishing, grounding, and deeply satisfying—the kind of meal that warms you from the inside out.

Need I say more? This is the kind of soup that doesn’t just feed you… it makes you feel better.

Ingredients:

  • 1 Tbsp of Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 Medium Onion
  • 3 Garlic cloves, Minced
  • 1 T Fresh ginger, Grated
  • 1 T fresh turmeric, Grated
  • 3/4 Carrots
  • 3/4 lbs Turnips
  • 4 Cups Bone Broth, or Vegetable Broth, or Chicken Broth
  • 1 Cup Coconut Milk (optional)
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions:

Saute onion in olive oil in a dutch oven or pot.

Add garlic, ginger, turmeric, carrots, turnips, and broth.

Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer until vegetables are tender.

Remove from heat and let cool enough to puree.

I used my NutriBullet with the largest cup and pureed a couple of batches.

Return to the pot and add coconut milk if desired.

Heat through.

I garnished with some pea shoots, just for a little "crunch".

Enjoy!
