Ingredients

  • 2lbs of organic carrots, roughly chopped + stems and knobby tops removed
  • 4 cups vegetable broth + more to taste if desired
  • 2-3 tablespoon fresh ginger root, peeled
  • 1 tablespoon vegan butter (Earth Balance)

Optional:

  • ½ teaspoon salt + pepper to taste
  • spices to taste: cayenne, cinnamon, turmeric, smoky paprika
  • 1 bay leaf
  • maple syrup, to taste
  • cilantro or parsley garnish

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add carrots. Boil until tender enough to slice with a butter knife. Drain carrots from water and add to a large container of a high speed blender, like a Vitamix. Discard the water from the large pot.
  • Add the ginger, vegan butter and veggie broth to the blender.
  • Add optional salt, pepper and spices - or you can add these later while soup is simmering.
  •  Blend soup from low to high for 2-3 minutes, until very smooth and silky.
  • Pour soup into same large pot. Place over low heat. Add the optional bay leaf and and additional spices or maple syrup.
  • Simmer on low, covered, for at least five minutes. This will remove all the air bubbles that for during blending. Serve warm. I like smoky paprika and a hint or parsley or cilantro on top to accent.
