Carrots and yams – simple, yes. Boring? Never! 
These wonderful simple veggies will help you stay healthy in the winter. Carrots are an excellent way to get lots of antioxidants and vitamin A into your body. These aspects will help you protect your body against cardiovascular disease and cancer.
Yams are also great for potassium as well, and both vegetables are sweet – which humans crave! Garlic is a natural antibiotic and cayenne will help keep you warm in the winter, so drink up – it’s easy!
2 large organic carrots, washed and diced
1 small yam, washed and diced
1 clove garlic, minced
water
pinch of sea salt
pinch of cayenne powder
- Combine the carrots, yam and garlic in a small pot.
- Add enough water to just cover the vegetables and a pinch of sea salt and cayenne.
- Bring the water to a boil, cover and simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes.
- Puree the entire contents of the pot with an immersion or stick-blender or by transferring the contents to a blender. Puree until smooth.
- Drink while warm.
Sounds yummy and really simple to make. Can’t wait to make it. Thanks Alex. I’m reading The Great American Detox Book and thus far very interesting. I’m looking forward to the recipes.
I COOK FOR A LARGE FAMILY. FIVE PEOPLE EVERY NIGHT. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW SERVING AMOUNTS. DOES THE RECIPE FOR CARROT/YAM SOUP SERVE JUST ONE? THAT IS INFORMATION THAT I THINK WOULD BE HELPFUL. LOVE TRYING TO KEEP EVERYONE EATING HEALTHY BUT SO DIFFICULT TO DO WITH SO MUCH PRE-PACKAGED FOOD MAKING IT SO EASY TO CHEAT.
Hi Melissa~
This recipe would be good for one person, so multiply everything by 5 or more. Be well,
Alex
This is a simple recipe for me and it looks yummy. Looking forward to making it today!
Hi Alex! I tried this recipe for lunch, and it was so yummy and easy to make. The amount I made gave me leftovers for tomorrow. I absolutely loved this recipe! Thanks for sharing!
I just made this soup and have to say it was sooo good, and very easy to make. Even for someone like me with very little cooking skills
Thank You. Can’t wait to try more
