Immunity-Boosting Foods: Carrots, Ginger, Turmeric, Coriander

Eating a whole foods, plant-based diet has been linked to a stronger immunity. Colorful fruits and vegetables are full of healthy antioxidants. Plus, using natural spices and ingredients like ginger help boost the immune system even more. This Creamy Carrot Soup has lots of immunity-boosting foods:

• Carrots: Carrots have beta-carotene, an antioxidant that helps your body fight disease. Beta-carotene is what gives carrots their bright orange color. It can also be found in other orange foods like pumpkin and sweet potatoes.
• Ginger: Ginger has been linked to reduced inflammation. Plus, ginger has antioxidant properties that has been linked to fighting cancer. While more research is needed, ginger makes a lovely, spicy addition to your stir-fry, soups, and baked desserts.
• Turmeric: Turmeric has been shown to improve the body’s antibody response. When disease attacks the body, you produce antibodies the help fight it. This immunity-boosting characteristic has meant turmeric has had beneficial effects in treating arthritis, allergy, asthma, atherosclerosis, heart disease, Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes, and cancer.
• Coriander: Coriander contains antioxidant compounds that help reduce inflammation and boost immunity. These compounds, compounds include terpinene, quercetin, and tocopherols, have shown cancer-fighting effects in research studies.

Calories 102kcal

Ingredients

• 1 medium fennel bulb
• 2 inches ginger root peeled and chopped (about 2 tablespoons)
• 2 teaspoons ground coriander
• 2 teaspoons ground turmeric
• 2 pounds organic carrots peeled and chopped
• 1 shallot
• 2 sprigs fresh thyme
• 4-6 cups vegetable stock as needed

Instructions

To trim the Fennel:

• Separate the fennel bulb from the fronds. Use a peeler to peel just a layer of skin off the fennel. Trim the root and remove the core. Chop the fennel. Pluck a few fennel fronds for garnishing the finished soup.

To make the Creamy Spiced Carrot Fennel Soup with Ginger, Turmeric, and Cardamom:

• In a medium pot, combine the the fennel, ginger, coriander and 1 cup of the vegetable stock. Cover over medium heat, covered, until aromatic and fennel is soft, about 10 minutes.
• Add the carrots, shallot, thyme, and 3 cups vegetable stock.
• Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce to simmer. Cook until carrots can be mashed, about 10-15 minutes.
• Remove the thyme stem. The thyme leaves should have fallen off. If not, strip them off the stem.
• Using an immersion blender or stand blender, puree the soup until smooth. Add more vegetable stock, as needed, to reach a smooth consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
• Return to the stove and keep warm until ready to serve.
• Garnish with fennel fronds to serve.

Notes

EASY Servings: 6 Ready In: 30 minutes Yield: 10-12 cups

Tips: You can save the fennel stalks for vegetable stock. Simply put into a plastic bag and keep in your freezer. Add to the bag other vegetable scraps like asparagus ends, mushroom stems, and celery leaves. When you have a full bag, make a batch of vegetable by simmering everything in 6 cups of filtered water for about 30 minutes.
