Ginger Carrot Kimchi With Fresh Alfalfa Sprouts
Eating raw foods can help increase your gut biome. Raw foods contain pre-biotics, helpful microbes that exist that would be destroyed by the heating process. This soup can be whipped together quickly if using a Vitamix. The heat from the chipotle powder along with the dill and lemon really open up your senses. If you desire the soup to be warm, let the Vitamix run for a little longer. The great thing about this, is that it takes minutes to prepare and is packed with vitamins and fiber. If you want to create a creamier texture, you could soak 1/4 cup of cashews and add to the mix. This will create a fattier mouth feel.
*This recipe was adapted from the Vitamix cookbook.
