Carrot and Ginger Soup image

My 2 year old loved this soup. Can be frozen. Great way to go through some carrots. Light meal for a summer day and hot and warming for a cold day.

Time 35m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup butter
2 medium onions, chopped
2 tablespoons grated peeled fresh gingerroot
1 1/2 lbs carrots, peeled and thinly sliced
6 cups chicken stock or 6 cups vegetable stock
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • In 4-quart saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.
  • Add onions and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Add gingerroot and cook 2 minutes longer.
  • Add carrots and stock to onions; heat to boiling over high heat.
  • Reduce heat to low, cover and cook carrots until tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • (Alternately, you can cook the carrots first, then add to stock- no need to thinly slice) Use hand blender to blend carrot mixture, in batches, until smooth.
  • Salt and pepper to taste.
  • Heat soup over low heat until hot.
  • Ladle into bowls and serve.
  • Use the vegetable stock for vegetarians.
