Creamy Asparagus Soup
Amrita Ma Devi
Sweet and easy-to-digest asparagus soup is healing, light and alkalizing. After a burst of taste comes the nourishing qualities of almonds used in our recipe. Almonds are a solid food but they feel a lot lighter than white potatoes and cream. Asparagus has an astringent taste which is most balancing for us to eat in Spring, when its in season, to reduce excess mucus and helps absorb water from the body.
From an Ayurvedic perspective we also appreciate that it's full of health benefits, especially for the urinary system. It is duretic, both sweet (madhura) and astringent (kashaya) by its taste. Sweet taste promotes strength, and longevity helping to nourish all tissues of the body. Whilst also being high in minerals that can help improve digestion issues, diabetes, and weight management.
