A Personal Note

“Namaste, I’m Naomi! During a peaceful retreat in India, I experienced the magic of a warm, aromatic bowl of soup infused with turmeric, ginger, and coconut milk.

I developed this Keto Vegan Turmeric Cauliflower Soup using simple, wholesome ingredients that are gentle on the gut and bursting with Ayurvedic wisdom. This soup not only nourishes my body but also serves as a reminder to slow down and savor life’s healing moments.” – Naomi Patel
