Carrot Soup

I love soup. Pretty much any kind of soup. It was just this past winter that discovered a love for Carrot soup. I love carrots any way they are made. I was still a little skeptical about a creamy soup made of carrots. From one bite, I was hooked. The creaminess of this soup with a strong carrot taste is delicious. That is when carrot soup became a monthly menu option.

Carrot and Ginger soup

Carrot and ginger go well together. It might not be the first thoughts when pairing flavor combinations, but the ginger gives a bit of zing to the milder carrot taste. When it is all combined, the creamy carrot and ginger soup make a delicious and healthy comfort meal for a cold winter night.

Carrot Ginger Soup

If you are looking for ideas on how to serve this carrot ginger soup, there are a few options. The soup can be meal enough just by itself. Serve carrot ginger soup with a salad on the side, or even with just a piece of bread. I love to have nice crusty bread when I eat soup.

For this recipe, you will need an immersion blender. If you don’t have one, a food processor or blender works, but it creates more dishes and more work. Immersion blenders do not have to be expensive, this one is only $20 and it works great.
