is simple to make and does not need cream to make it creamy! What makes it creamy and delicious? …those yummy carrots from the Farmers Market. You just puree them. A handheld immersion blender is great for this… but a blender will do, even an old fashioned food mill.
- Ginger adds a lovely freshness and plays well with the carrots’ sweetness.
- Onion and garlic give it depth of flavor.
- Extra-virgin olive oil adds richness.
- Apple cider vinegar or orange juice makes it bright & tangy.
- And veggie broth lets the blender blades spin and ties the soup together.
- Season to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper. Add a touch or maple syrup for sweetness if you’d like! (You can make your own broth from the scraps you would normally dispose: paper-skins, peels and pieces of onion, fennel, carrots, radishes, turnips, leeks, etc.… just simmer for about 15 minutes, strain and it’s ready to use or store in the refrigerator for a week…) I don’t peel my carrots, too many nutrients are lost.
- Top with toasted pumpkin seeds for added protein and little crunch.
