Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup butter
- 2 medium onions, chopped
- 2 Tbsp fresh ginger root, peeled and grated
- 1 1/2 lbs carrots, peeled and thinly sliced
- 6 cup chicken stock
=OR=
- 3 cans (about 11 1/2 ounce) chicken broth (try to use reduced sodium)
- 3/4 cup water
- 1/2 ts salt
- 1/2 ts black pepper
Melt butter in a 4-quart saucepan, over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté them until they become soft and translucent. Cook for about 5 minutes.
Next, you will add the ginger root and cook for another 2 minutes. Add carrots and chicken stock or broth to previously cooked onion mixture. Heat until boiling. Once the soup boils, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until carrots are tender but not mushy, This should take about 15-20 minutes.
Last thing to do is blend the carrot mixture in batches in a food processor or blender until completely smooth. Return blended soup to the saucepan and add salt and pepper. Heat soup again over low heat until hot and serve immediately.
Don't forget to garnish with some twisty curls of shaved ginger.
This recipe for Ginger Carrot Soup makes 8 servings for an entrée. If you want to use it as an appetizer, it can be stretched to 12 servings.
