Soothing Carrot Soup

Rich in fibre, and packed with antioxidants, carrots are one of your body’s best friends. Their high fibre content helps regulate digestion, lower blood pressure and reduce oedema. They are replete with carotenoids which improve night version, protect against cancer and boost red blood cell production. Note that carotenoids are fat soluble, so the olive oil in the recipe here increases their bioavailability about threefold.

Ginger is a warming anti-inflammatory which adds a kick to the soup, while garlic contains sulphur compounds which have powerful antiviral and antimicrobial properties. The combination assists the elimination of toxins and parasites from the body.

Adding the orange zest and juice at the end of the cooking allows the benefit of additional vitamin C as well as enriching the flavour.
