    Carrot Ginger Soup

    Carrots are a vegetable I always have on hand in my kitchen. They are delicious raw or cooked, add wonderful flavor and color to recipes, and they keep for a long time. Truly a wondrous crop worth celebrating!

    This Carrot Ginger Soup is jam-packed with…you guessed it, carrots. This luscious soup takes only 25 minutes to make and it’s ingredient list is made with pantry staples. I kept this recipe simple so the carrots really shine. Fresh ginger adds a hint of spice and a bright flavor, while cumin gives some background smokiness.

    This soup also makes a tasty and nutritious weekday lunch and is on the regular rotation in my meal prepping arsenal on the weekends.
