Meal Planning for Postpartum: Grounding Carrot Ginger Sweet Potato Soup
Hello Momma,
There’s something about a simple bowl of soup that can instantly make you feel nourished, cozy, and cared for, especially during the cooler autumn months or while supporting your body postpartum.
This Grounding Carrot Ginger Sweet Potato Soup is exactly that kind of bowl. Sweet potatoes and carrots bring natural sweetness and gentle warmth, while fresh ginger adds a soothing, restorative touch. Coconut milk and coconut aminos create a creamy, comforting base that is both rich in flavor and gentle on digestion.
It’s easy to make, deeply satisfying, and perfect for meal prep, slow evenings, or any time you want a grounding, healing meal.
Ingredients 🌿
• 3 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced

• ¼ cup coconut aminos
• 2 tsp garlic powder
• Sea salt & pepper, to taste

3️⃣ Return the blended soup to the pot and stir in coconut milk, coconut aminos, garlic powder, and salt and pepper.
4️⃣ Simmer for a few more minutes until heated through.
5️⃣ Serve warm. Optional: drizzle with olive oil or garnish with fresh herbs for an extra cozy touch.
