How to Make Healing Carrot and Turmeric Soup — 38 Comments

  1. Noel, this is a fabulous recipe. I fell in love with turmeric, when I first started cooking Indian curries, but it wasn’t until a few years later that I discovered the healing properties of turmeric. Where we live, there is no issue getting fresh turmeric and I often use it in teas. So I will be trying out this recipe. Nice job. (I also love that it is a natural way to achieve the yellow color in whatever you are cooking).

    • Thanks Mark! I love the recipes you do, too. I’ve been drinking turmeric tea for awhile now, also. This soup was one way to get a bit more goodness into our diet.

  2. this delicious and healing carrot and tumeric soup couldn’t be easier to prepare and the color is stunning! Cant wait to make this so it’ll warm me to my core during this long winter we’re having!

    • Hasn’t this felt like an especially long winter? Our temperatures here have bounced from 0 – 55 (warmish for us) but we’ve had our share of rain and damp … which just chills to the bone. I’m eating a lot of soup as a result! Let me know how you like this soup.

  3. Love reading how turmeric seem to be adapted globally, its so healthy and making use of it in a soup along with carrot makes this one healthy soup. Will be making this soon. thanks for the idea..

    • Veena,
      Indian cuisine is very unusual for me. I’m so intrigued by the use of spices and the depth of flavors and colors… I really need to try more Indian recipes.

    • You’re welcome, Kathy.
      I know that when delicious meets healthy, its so much easier to eat. My mom is an artist at heart and she always insists that food be pretty. I know I eat more when my plate is pretty. LOL

    • Julie,
      I understand your hesitation to jump on board the popular belief in magic herbs. I’m right there with you. However, I believe that there is goodness in small doses and every little bit helps. The flavor is fabulous, isn’t it?!

  4. My mom used to always say that nothing cured a common cold like a shot of turmeric to the belly. When we were kids, she would always whip up a simple broth soup with turmeric and make us kids drink it. And, we always felt better almost immediately.

    • Byron, your mom sounds comforting. My mom put us to bed on the sofa with a cup of tea and that was that. LOL My mom is artistic and fun and wonderful, just not really good with sick people.

      I like the sound of a chicken broth / turmeric broth when I’m feeling poorly. I’ll bet it would work wonders.

    • I agree, I’ve seen so much about turmeric lately, I had to give it a try. I was surprised at the depth of flavor in this spice. It certainly isn’t one to dive into without sampling first. The sweetness of the carrots in this recipe are a nice blend with the spiciness of the turmeric.

    • Oh, have we had our share of the flu in my neighborhood, too. I think I’ve made a pot of homemade soup every weekend for months. If nothing else, I’m healing the spirit and soul with that soup!

    • My pleasure to remind you of carrot soup. Funny how we have old favorites that fall to the wayside for no reason and become forgotten, isn’t it? I’ve had that happen with a couple recipes and can’t figure out why they disappeared from the rotation.

    • Amy, Pull that jar out and put it to good use! Spices don’t last forever, you know. I admire the fact that you run. I’m past the point in my life for running. LOL

  5. I use turmeric in everything especially in curries. your carrot and turmeric soup not only delicious it is rich in anti inflammatory turmeric and vitamin A rich carrot.

    • Swathi,
      Thanks for stopping by…I’ll have to go look at some of your curry recipes. Curry is one thing that I’m timid about trying. Love the idea, intimidated by the recipes.

    • I love the way the carrot and turmeric flavors blend. You know a food item has become a global food when I can find it in my Central Ohio town of 12,000.

  6. I’ve heard turmeric thrown around as the latest food trend, but I had no idea it had so many health benefits. I really like that you listed it all, and I think I’m going to have to keep this recipe on hand for times my family is feeling under the weather. I bet it tastes great too!

  7. How great is this? I have made a few bowls of carrot ginger soup but haven’t had the chance to try it with turmeric. I recently bought some and try to incorporate it into my diet for the all those wonderful properties that you describe above. I have noticed a difference in my gut and think I need to start adding it more!

    • OH! Ginger! I need to try that! I’ve not added enough spices yet to see a difference in my health / well being. Good to know that you’ve seen a change. I’ll keep sprinkling more into my meals.
