Carrot Cardamom Ginger Soup

September 29, 2014 By Kris Kelly

What’s a girl to do with a big bag of colorful organic carrots?  Today I’m sharing one of my favorite uses for these beta-carotene rich vegetables, Carrot Cardamom Ginger Soup. Amazingly, there are over 100 species of carrots, however, most found in our local markets are typically orange, white, yellow, red, or maroon.   Carrots are one of the most readily available vegetables in the US today and second in popularity only to the the potato.  They might be overused as a vegetable but somehow work their way into many of my own dishes. Why is that? These colorful, crunchy sticks are sweet, versatile, and delicious.  You can’t go wrong with a carrot!

 Carrot Cardamom Ginger Soup

The simple carrot:

One serving size of carrots provides 25 calories, 6 grams of carbohy3 grams of sugars and 1 gram of protein, and a healthy dose of the  beta-carotene, which is converted to vitamin A in the body.

According to Time Healthland, eating the rainbow has never been easier when you turn to the humble carrot.

  • Orange: Beta and alpha carotene pigment. This promotes vitamin A production by the body, which is essential for healthy eyes.

  • Purple: Anthocyanin, beta and alpha carotene pigment. Purple carrots typically have an orange core, and their pigment-related nutrients may provide additional vitamin A and prevent heart disease.

  • Red: Lycopene and beta-carotene pigment. Lycopene is the same red pigment that gives tomatoes their deep color and is linked to a lower risk of certain cancers, such as prostate cancer.

  • Yellow: Xanthophykks and lutein. Both are linked to cancer prevention and better eye health.

  • White: The nutrients don’t come from the pigment but from the fiber, which promotes healthy digestion.
