This lovely Carrot and Ginger Soup will warm and nourish on those Crisp Fall days!
This Carrot and Ginger Soup is the perfect segue into Fall. It’s nourishing, warming but still light and “happy” from the addition of lemon zest and juice. I think lemon juice makes everything “happy.” Ginger is a lovely accompaniment to carrots, a perfect marriage where each ingredient brings the best out in each other.
It’s super easy to make and only requires a few pantry ingredients. As always use the best vegetable stock you can find. Homemade is the gold standard but otherwise try Imagine or Pacific, I think they’re the best boxed stocks available.
