Stylish Eats: Spicy Carrot & Ginger Soup

I had a strange desire to try a carrot and ginger soup this week but I must admit I was a bit nervous. For one I wasn’t sure if the Hubs was gonna be down with it and secondly I thought it would only be interesting for a day or two. I was wrong all the way around. Hubs loved it and I’m looking forward to day three today!  It’s light but oddly filling. Yesterday I added a small side salad and it balanced it off perfectly.

Ingredients

1 lbs of Carrot, peeled and cut into small circles

1 (2-3 inch piece) of fresh ginger, peeled and chopped

Vegetable Stock

2 Large Shallots,  chopped

1 Large Garlic Clove, chopped

2 tbsp Brown Sugar

Red Pepper Flakes

Sea Salt

Fresh Ground Pepper

Directions

Step 1:

Sautee shallots and ginger in olive until soft. Add in carrots, brown sugar, red pepper flakes, sea salt and ground pepper. Add a touch of water and cover with lid. Cook for 20 minutes or until carrots are soft.

Step 2:

Transfer cooked carrots to a blender or food processor. Blend to your desired texture (the vegetable broth will help make the mixture smooth).

Step 3:

Pour the content into a large pot and add remaining vegetable broth and shimmer for 10-15 minutes. Season to taste or as needed. Serve in small bowl and top with Italian parsley for presentation, of course! Enjoy.
