Carrot Sweet Potato Soup with Turmeric and Ginger

Put your crockpot to work so you can focus on holiday season demands. ORGANIC INDIA Tulsi Turmeric Ginger Tea is swapped with traditional broth or stock as the base for this bright and satisfying Carrot Sweet Potato Soup. Delicious if you’re having people over or even for just a cozy night in reading a good book.

Bursting with beta carotene, the hearty sweet potatoes and crunchy carrots take on a rich silkiness in the slow cooker. Turmeric, ginger, and other herbs in ORGANIC INDIA’s tea infusion adds delicate spicy notes while supporting wellness and soothing digestion. As an added bonus, this fix-it-and-forget it meal couldn’t be easier to prepare — throw everything in the slow cooker and let it simmer until you’re ready to puree and serve. 

The spice components are not only delicious, they contain a myriad of health benefits. Turmeric, also known as the golden root, is known for helping support a healthy inflammatory response. Ginger, in this same family as Turmeric, has a warming effect that is found to soothe the gastrointestinal tract and support digestion. That touch of Cinnamon is delightful and is found to help regulate healthy blood sugar metabolism.
