When the seasons change—or when life feels a little unsteady—one of the most supportive things you can do for your body is bring in grounding, warming, and easy-to-digest meals. Ayurveda teaches us that food is more than fuel; it’s medicine, energy, and balance for the body, mind, and spirit.
This healing Ayurvedic soup is a perfect example of a meal that nourishes all three doshas. With Tridosha spices, root vegetables, leafy greens, and protein, it supports digestion, energy, and holistic wellness.
Why Ayurvedic Soup Supports Digestion
Soups are one of the easiest ways to eat in alignment with Ayurveda because:
Everything is cooked together, making it easier to digest (supports Agni).
The warm, moist qualities balance dryness, heat, and heaviness in the body.
Digestive spices enhance nutrient absorption and reduce heaviness.
Eating a warm bowl of soup mindfully is already a healing ritual, making your meal as therapeutic as it is delicious.
Tridosha Soup Recipe
Ingredients (Serves 4–6)
1–2 Tbsp ghee or olive oil
1 medium sweet potato, peeled + cubed
2–3 carrots, chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
2 cups kale, roughly chopped
1 cup snap peas, halved
1 lb ground turkey or chicken
1 cup rice
6 cups vegetable stock (or chicken stock)
1–2 tsp Tridosha spice mix (Cumin*, Ginger*, Coriander*, Fennel*, Turmeric*, Ajwain*, Cinnamon*) Or purchase it here.
½ tsp fresh grated ginger (optional)
Himalayan salt to taste
Fresh lime or lemon juice (optional)
Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
Method
Bloom the spices
Heat ghee or olive oil in a large soup pot. Add Tridosha spice mix and toast gently for 30 seconds until aromatic. Stir in fresh ginger if using.
Cook the protein
Add ground turkey or chicken and sauté until just browned.
Add vegetables
Stir in celery, carrots, and sweet potato. Cook for 3–4 minutes to soften slightly.
Add rice + stock
Rinse rice, add to the pot with stock. Bring to a boil, reduce to a gentle simmer, and cook 25–30 minutes until rice and sweet potatoes are tender.
Finish with greens
Stir in kale and snap peas in the last 5 minutes to keep them vibrant but tender.
Season + serve
Add salt to taste. Garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime or lemon before serving.
Ayurvedic Wisdom Behind the Ingredients
Sweet potato + carrots → grounding, sweet, calm Vata & Pitta.
Celery, kale, snap peas → light, astringent, balancing for Kapha.
Rice → easy to digest, sattvic, suitable for all doshas.
Turkey or chicken → warming, strengthening, grounding.
Ghee + digestive spices → enhance absorption, prevent heaviness, support Agni.
This combination creates a balance of tastes—sweet, pungent, astringent, and bitter—leaving you nourished on all levels.
Dosha Adaptations
For Vata: Add more ghee, extra sweet potato, and finish with lime juice.
For Pitta: Use olive oil, keep spices gentle, add cilantro & lime for cooling.
For Kapha: Reduce rice (or substitute with quinoa), increase kale and snap peas, add more ginger and black pepper.
Tips for Eating Mindfully
Sit down, breathe, and eat slowly.
Notice how your body feels before and after eating.
Use seasonal vegetables for optimal nourishment.
Eating with awareness turns a simple bowl of soup into Ayurvedic medicine for your body, mind, and spirit.
I hope this recipe is straightforward and simple enough for you to enjoy not just when you're craving it, but also when you need a comforting bowl.
I would be eager to hear your thoughts once you've made it.
