The Importance of Ginger

Listen closely, never add curry to anything without adding some ginger. IT IS NOT OPTIONAL.

On its own, curry can give you a pretty nasty stomach ache, especially if it isn’t cooked properly or if you have digestive issues. Since ginger has natural anti-inflammatory properties, it sort of balances it out and saves you a few trips to the bathroom. 

Besides that, ginger contains antioxidants that are great for managing blood sugar, lowering cholesterol and lowers your risk of developing heart disease.

Sweet Potatoes and Carrots

Together,  sweet potatoes and carrots promote healthy vision and are rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Their antioxidant content helps to reduce the risk of cancer, boost the immune system and can even help you to reach your weight loss goals!

The sweet potatoes and carrots are what gives the soup its creamy texture. This eliminates the need for any kind of cream whose high-saturated fat content is bad for you and your family.

Benefits of Honey

Adding honey to this soup gives it a lovely, sweetness that your kids will appreciate. During flu season, it can help to suppress coughs and help soothe a sore throat. Use a good quality organic and/or local honey to benefit from its health and healing properties.
