Skip right to the recipe.

I have absolutely nothing to say about Carrot Ginger soup. Nothing. As someone who is passionate about all things soup you'd think I'd have at least one thing to say but nope. I have been sitting here in my office for the last half hour trying to remember some sort of anecdote about this soup to lead into the recipe with. I do not have a single interesting story about it. I don't even have an uninteresting story about carrot soup.

Here is what I can tell you about me and soup. I like it all. I like Habitant canned Pea Soup with a stack of buttered Premium Plus crackers on the side and vinegar drizzled on top of the soup, I love a good squash soup, am enamoured with spicy sausage fire broth soup and generally have nothing bad to say about soup.

Yup.

Riveting post so far isn't it?

So I might as well get right into it then. What I DO know about this carrot ginger soup is that it's completely delicious, dead easy to make and packs more flavour than you'd think possible in a recipe that only has a few ingredients and takes about half an hour to make. 40 minutes if you're going at a relaxed pace.

This is soup so do not be frightened of it. It is quite literally impossible to screw up soup.

You cook some carrots until tender in chicken or vegetable broth, whiz it a bit with an immersion blender and you're done.

O.K. there are a few more ingredients and steps, but basically that's it.

CARROT SOUP TIPS

1. To peel ginger just scrape the skin away with a spoon. It the fastest, easiest way to do it.
2. Have a leftover bag of those baby carrots? Use them up in soup.
3. Want to add a little kick to ANY soup? Throw in ¼ teaspoon of pepper flakes or cayenne pepper.
4. Still saving up for a Vitamix? Use an inexpensive immersion blender. They work GREAT for so many things, soups especially, making them velvety. You'll get the same result by using a Vitamix.

OUT OF CARROTS? No problem. Omit the sugar in the recipe and use sweet potato instead.

Garnish with a big dollop of sour cream, cilantro if you have some and a few drops of toasted sesame oil. As with any recipe feel free to change things up a bit, adding more or less of this and that. And if, by chance, something VERY exciting happens to you while making or eating this soup, let me know. Evidently I'm in need of a really good carrot soup story.
