Anupama's Kitchen
Ginger - Carrot Soup
By Stephanie Read, Ayurvedic Doula, PRYT
This Ginger – Carrot Soup a favorite soup of my postpartum clients! I based this recipe on some that I found on the “epicurious” website. However, I adapted them in my own way with various Ayurvedic ways. I have changed a few ingredients, added ayurvedic spices and made it a little more postpartum friendly. I feel it pairs well with Anupama Vaidya’s Bajara Roti.
