Regulating Carrot and Ginger Soup with Thyroid-Nourishing Spices

This comforting soup is packed with flavor and nutrients. The carrots provide sweetness, the onion adds depth, and the ginger, turmeric, and cinnamon give it a warm, spicy flavor. The soup is also a good source of vitamin C, potassium, and fiber.

I've always been a fan of carrot and ginger soup, but I wanted to make a version that was even more flavorful and nutritious. I started by adding some onion to the mix, which gives the soup a nice depth of flavor. Then I added some ginger, turmeric, and cinnamon, which give it a warm, spicy flavor. The soup is also a good source of vitamin C, potassium, and fiber.
