Carrot and Turmeric Soup (in a Soup Maker)
A warming and comforting carrot and turmeric soup made in the Ninja Soup Maker. The carrots add a natural sweetness, while the turmeric and ginger give the soup a lovely earthy warmth. Butter beans help to make it extra creamy and filling, without the need for cream.

Notes
Butter beans: The butter beans help to make the soup creamier and more filling, while also adding extra protein and fibre. If you don't have any butter beans, you can replace them with 200g of potatoes, chopped into small pieces. The potatoes will also help to thicken the soup and give it a lovely smooth texture.
Turmeric: This recipe uses 1 teaspoons of ground turmeric for a warming, earthy flavour. You can reduce this to 1/2 teaspoon if you prefer a milder turmeric taste.
