Sunshine Soup (Carrot Apple Ginger)

Are you feeling run down and depleted? I know the feeling firsthand.  One way that I can always cheer myself up is by making homemade soup. I like to call this my Sunshine Soup. Ok there is no sunshine in it but its so bright and vibrant and can really make you feel good. It is made with carrots, apples, and ginger.  To me when I eat soup, it feels like a big hug warming me up. This soup is completely vegan and is good if you are trying to avoid bad foods. I bet you will feel just as good after you try a bit.

This vibrant, velvety soup is a keeper and most people already have the ingredients on hand at home. All the ingredients are known to have uplifting properties that will make you feel good from the inside out. The spices of nutmeg and thyme are a perfect match with the carrots, apple, and ginger. I am obsessed with ginger so put as little or as much as you want.
