Carrot Ginger Soup

This is so light, fresh, vibrant, and HEALING.  With the antioxidants of carrots, the healing powers of ginger and turmeric, this is my go-to when feeling run down.

Ingredients:

1 lb organic whole carrots, peeled
1 onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 Tbsp peeled and grated fresh ginger
1 Tsp peeled and grated fresh turmeric root
1 tsp crushed red pepper
3 cups chicken or vegetable broth (for a vegan option)*
1 can full fat coconut milk
salt & pepper
olive oil

Method:

Toss carrots with 2 Tbsp olive oil, salt and pepper.  Roast at 400 degrees for 40 minutes.

In a dutch oven, or large pot, sautee onions in olive oil until tender, then add garlic, turmeric, ginger and crushed red pepper.

Add carrots to the pot, pour in broth, and bring to a boil.  Reduce to a simmer, then use immersion blender until creamy.  Add salt and pepper to taste, then before serving stir in a can of coconut milk.

* For added healing benefits, substitute store bought broth for homemade bone broth.  Adds SO much flavor, protein, and nutrients!*
