Ginger Carrot Soup

Ginger Carrot Soup
This is a simple, quick, and tasty winter soup.

Prep time: ~10 minutes
Cook time: ~30-45 minutes

Ingredients
1 pound carrots (shredded)
1/2 large onion (shredded)
1 boullion cube1
water1
several chunks of ginger (depending on your taste)
bay leaf
fresh ground black pepper to taste
2T coconut milk (optional)

Shred carrots and onion, add to pot, and pour in water until the vegetables are just covered. Add boullion cube, pepper, ginger, and bay leaf. Simmer soup on low until vegetables are cooked through and most of the water has evaporated.

Taste and adjust seasonings; add coconut milk if desired. Remove bay leaf and ginger chunks and serve.

Scaling this recipe is easy! I used 4 pounds of carrots (approximately 7c shredded) and two onions with 4 boullion cubes and a big handful of ginger.

1 You may substitute stock or broth for the boullion + water. Whatever you've got in terms of ingredients and/or time.

Tried making this tonight. Delicious. I think next time i might puree about half of the carrots after they are cooked with an immersion blender, to thicken it up a bit. As for your suggestion of grating the ginger, Patrik, I would say that I love ginger and after boiling with 3 large chunks of ginger for 45 minutes, the soup was plenty gingery, borderline too gingery. Anyway, great recipe.

I think I can smell it from here! :-) Any particular reason for not shredding the ginger in along with he rest? Then again, I am a ginger nut...
