Carrot-Ginger-Coconut Soup
Garden of Healing®
This is a spicy-sweet soup that also includes coconut milk. Research has found that one of the fatty acids found in coconut, called lauric acid, stimulates the thyroid gland. Additionally, the medium-chain triglycerides found in coconut soothe the digestive tract.
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
2 medium red potatos
10 medium carrots, chopped
1 cup coconut milk
1 small red or yellow bell pepper, chopped
6 cups of hearty vegetable broth
White pepper, to taste
