Carrot, Ginger & Lemongrass Soup

I've recently been diagnosed with Gastroparesis (delayed gastric emptying) so I've been busy in the kitchen experimenting with recipes that are more suitable for my flare ups. Generally, liquid foods are tolerated better and are a good way to still include nutrients. If you haven’t seen it, there’s a page on my website “managing gastroparesis” with the strategies you all shared with me that work for you (and I’ve since tried and are helping me too!)

🔆You asked me to share my creations so here we goooo ⬇️

This carrot soup contains a delicious and nourishing kick + digestive aid from the ginger and a zesty tang from lemongrass

It's vegan, gluten free, low FODMAP AND free from ONION & GARLIC (a common rarity with soups!)
