Soups easy to make from scratch. Once you’ve done it once, you have done it a million times. I never knew how easy they were till I had to learn how to change my eating lifestyle. Before I started making the switch to eating clean, I thought soup-making was all about buying a package adding it to hot water and vola. I didn’t know that the MSG and the sodium in the packaged soup were negatively impacting my body long term. As soon as I made the switch, I noticed my milder periods, and I didn’t feel as bloated. There’s a whole lot about TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine), and the therapeutic value food has. Getting back to making soups from produce is coming back. Here are five of my favorite recipes, especially for that time of the month.

1 medium carrot
