Ayurvedic Carrot Soup Recipe

Serves 4 – 6 Although this soup is tridoshic, carrots can be a little heating to pitta as can the ginger. The cooling qualites of the coconut milk mitigate the heating qualities of the carrots and ginger. The sweet flavors of the sugar and crystalized ginger also help reduce the heat. Doshic Notes Vata – Pitta – Kapha –

Ingredients

2 Tbs butter 2 lbs carrots, peeled and chopped 2 onions, chopped small 1 Tbs ginger, grated fine 2 tsp salt 1/4 cup ginger, crystallized 1 tsp sugar 4 cups water 1/2 tsp baking soda 3/4 cup coconut milk, reduced fat 1 bunch cilantro, chopped Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation
