Carrot Ginger Soup

 

Carrots are considered a carb-y veggie. So if you're looking to reduce sugar, I'd skip this soup. Otherwise, dig in. Packed with phytonutrients and anti-oxidants, you can feel yourself getting healthier - and younger - by the spoonful.  This is an easy variation of a classic everyone loves. Tip: keep peeled ginger in the freezer and grate when you're ready to use. That way it's always on-hand and you'll have no excuse not to make this souper soup.

 

Ingredients

• One bunch organic carrots, washed and chopped. Do not peel carrots! 

• 1/2 cup onion

• 1 T avocado oil

• 1 T butter (yes, small amounts of this saturated fat is OK. Use organic. If you're avoiding dairy replace with 1 T avocado oil.)

• 1/2 tsp kosher salt

• 1 T organic finely chopped ginger

• 1 carton organic, low-sodium veggie or chicken broth

​

Instructions

• Heat oil. Add carrots, onion and butter. 

• Sauté until onions are soft. 

• Mix in salt and ginger. 

• Add broth until veggies are covered. You won't need the whole carton.

• Lightly boil until carrots are soft. 

• Add to Vitamix or blender.  

• Keep adding broth until consistency if you want it more thin. Store and reheat one cup at a time for snack.

 

Serves: 4-6

Time: 30 mins.
