Great source of beta-carotene, hence the orange colour<\/p><\/div>\n

This cream of carrot and ginger soup marked my first time making a Western soup; I’m having fun with my blender! The cream I put in was creme fraiche, which is also the white blob you see in the picture. Next time I’ll attempt soups with leeks, peas, broccoli, cauliflower etc.<\/p>\n

For those who have absolutely no idea how simple this is to make, here’s what you do:<\/p>\n

1. Cut the carrot(s) into smaller pieces and put to boil in a pot of water.<\/p>\n

2. After the carrots have softened, place in the blender with some water. The amount of water depends on how thick you want your soup’s consistency to be.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 Add some salt – again I used my intuition with this one – and a dollop of cream or creme fraiche. Alternatively you could stir it into the soup later as you heat the blended soup up in a pot. My blender can’t have boiling water put in it so I had to use room temperature water. That meant I had to heat the blended soup up in a pot before eating it.<\/p>\n

4. After all the ingredients are in the blender, turn the blender on and blend to a smooth, creamy soup.<\/p>\n

5. Pour contents out and heat up in a pot if necessary. Then serve and add some freshly ground black pepper if you wish!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
