Purple sweet potatoes are flavorful, healthy, and very hearty. They are a perfect base ingredient for soups and staple for the winter months. However, their sweetness is distinct from orange sweet potatoes. They remind me of baked goods with cinnamon and sugar added. For this reason, I have found that a spicier, more savory spice… Continue reading Ras El Hanout Sweet Potato Soup
Another fruit soup to stay warm and gently soothe digestion this winter. This recipe is an Ayurveda staple that I use regularly because I learned last year in Autumn that I cannot digest raw apples well, especially in the cold dry weather. Instant headache. Therefore, cooked apples are the solution for me. This recipe serves… Continue reading Fruit Soup: Apple Edition
I created this soup on vacation with the limited ingredients I had, and the color was incredible. I wanted to remake it right when I got home. The beet and purple sweet potato blend to make a warm, plum purple liquid that is sweet, rich, and grounding. If you are ravenous in the morning, this… Continue reading Grounding Vegetable Soup
As I have explored more in the knowledge of Ayurveda, I have enjoyed beginning my day with a common recipe to gently begin the daily digestion process: stewed fruit, which I affectionately call fruit soup. I thought of this recipe when I was away from home spending time with family for the holidays, and I… Continue reading Fruit Soup: Orange Immunity Edition
I celebrate this holiday season with highlighting a color symbolizing opulence, creativity, and a bit of mystery: purple. By balancing out the excitement of red and coolness of blue, purple offers a middle ground and foundation for wellbeing amidst the craziness of holiday traditions and temptations for overindulgence. Be well this season, and live simply.… Continue reading Purple Vegetable Pancake and Sweet Potato Soup

Combine the ingredients in a pot and set to cooking in a pressure cooker or on the stove. Blend the… Continue reading Butternut Squash Lentil Soup with Spiced Rice
Lentil soup is a favorite of my mother’s, and this season is the perfect time to make yourself a serving to enjoy with family. The spices are calming to the mind, and the added sweet potato (which can be substituted for any potato) gives you heartiness to fill you and keep you warm for hours.… Continue reading Stovetop Lentil Soup
As mentioned previously, I am fully embracing savory porridge this season. It is a warm, hearty breakfast with a good dose of vegetables in the morning to set the day off well. I feel incredible after savory porridge, and I am ready to work by the time I sit down at my desk. Life will… Continue reading Sunshine Beetroot Savory Porridge
Alright y’all. Sweet oatmeal is out. Savory porridge is in. Without the oats, this is a lovely, aromatic, brothy soup. With the oats, it is a substantial meal that will keep you satisfied and light as you go through your day. I am not sure I will ever add fruit to my oatmeal again. Ingredients… Continue reading Chinese Five Spice Savory Porridge
This meal is my go-to when I do not have time or am low on vegetables at the end of the week. Ayurvedic tradition holds Kitchari as a soup perfect for cleansing. It is easily digestible, and it is nourishing enough to not leave one hungry during a detox. Other recipes use mung dal instead… Continue reading Kitchari
