Gut-Healing Carrot Turmeric Ginger Soup

Serves 6

Soup is a great meal option on days when your stomach is upset as it gives your digestive tract a break from having to work hard to break down cold, raw foods. This soup in particular helps reduce inflammation and bloating since it contains turmeric and ginger. The main vegetable in this soup is carrots, which are a low FODMAP, easy-to-digest vegetable. It is nice and creamy thanks to the coconut milk and almond butter.

Ingredients:

• 12 carrots, chopped
• 5 cups bone broth
• 1 can coconut milk

• 2 thumb-sized pieces fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
• 1 tsp cinnamon

• 2 TBSP almond butter
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Parsley or cilantro, chopped, as a garnish

Instructions:

1. Bring broth a boil. Add carrots, coconut milk, turmeric, ginger, cinnamon to soup pot and turn to low. Simmer on low for 20-25 minutes or until carrots are tender. Remove from heat.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 TBSP miso plus ¼ cup water.
3. Once the soup has cooled, add miso/water mixture.
