We are so ecstatic about our collaboration with Vidya Living x Claire Ragozzino. Claire prepared these amazing spring detox recipes featuring Anaya Products.  We love her Ayurveda focused recipes and approach to holistic wellness. 

ASPARAGUS SOUP WITH ROASTED RADISHES

Asparagus Soup
2 tablespoons ghee or olive oil
1 bunch asparagus, trimmed and chopped
½ teaspoon ground coriander
⅙ teaspoon asafetida
2 cups loosely packed greens (watercress, spinach, green chard)
2–3 cups hot water
1 avocado, pitted
½ cup loosely packed flat-leaf parsley
¾ teaspoon salt
Microgreens or pea shoots, for garnish 

In a medium pot, heat the ghee on medium heat. Add the asparagus, coriander, and asafetida, and cook for 5 minutes, until tender. Reduce to low heat, add the greens, and cook another 2–3 minutes. Transfer to a high-speed blender, add the remaining ingredients, and puree until creamy, adding more water if the consistency is too thick. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. To serve, divide between bowls and garnish with roasted radishes and a handful of microgreens or pea shoots. For a heartier meal, pour soup over a scoop of cooked quinoa or millet.  

 

Roasted Radishes
6–8 radishes (red or French breakfast), trimmed and quartered
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt 

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place radishes in a baking pan. Toss in olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Roast for 20–25 minutes, or until tender and the edges lightly browned and crispy. Remove from the oven and serve hot on top of the soup.
