In Vermont, we can get local carrots, and other root vegetables, throughout the entire winter. Local farmers like Elmer’s Farm in East Middlebury, VT harvest them in the fall and keep them in cold storage on behalf of their customers. This GAPS Garam Masala carrot soup is a creamy and nourishing way to utilize this fall bounty that keeps giving into the early spring.

If you remove the Garam Masala spice, this recipe is suitable for the very beginning stages of the GAPS Introduction Diet. With the spices, it is suitable for the late stages or Full GAPS. This also makes excellent baby food, full of vitamins, minerals, and nourishing fats and stock.

Inspiration for this recipe comes from my friend, Lydia Shatney.
