Tasty Ginger Root Carrot Soup (Vegan Gluten Free)
This vegan, gluten free soup recipe is packed full of savory sweet and slightly spicy aromas. Ginger root is known for increasing metabolism, inhibits autoimmune symptoms and helps to stimulate brain function. Get your taste buds roaring and try this slightly spicy and sweet soup that will keep you coming back for more. This recipe only takes about 20-25 minutes. I love how this vegan, gluten free soup is so versatile where you can do just about anything to bring out its robust flavors.
