Cozy, Nourishing Carrot Soup (High-Protein & Meal-Prep Friendly)
There’s something deeply comforting about a warm bowl of soup—especially one that’s vibrant, grounding, and quietly powerful. This carrot soup is a Zentric-style staple: simple ingredients, one pot, and nourishment that supports your body without asking for much in return.
It’s the kind of recipe you make on a Sunday afternoon, let simmer while the house fills with warmth, and then enjoy all week long. Rich in color, gently spiced, and surprisingly high in protein, this soup is both cozy and energizing—perfect for cooler months, busy weeks, or anytime you want food that feels like care.
Ingredients
4 lbs carrots
2 leeks

64 oz chicken bone broth
1 tbsp turmeric

2 blocks silken tofu
Salt & pepper, to taste
Instructions
Wash and chop all vegetables into roughly 1-inch pieces.
Thoroughly rinse and dry the sliced leeks.
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté the leeks and bell peppers until soft, about 5 minutes.
Add the spices and stir until fragrant and well combined.
Add carrots and bone broth. Increase heat to high and bring to a gentle simmer.
Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until carrots are fork-tender.
