Carrot and ginger soup – why we love it
Did I mention it only takes ten minutes? Good. It’s also really tasty. It’s also a taste that fits all seasons. Carrot and ginger just seem to fit whether you’re in the icy grasp of a long, cold winter or sweating it out in the summer’s heat. The soup is both warm and comforting and tangy and refreshing at the same time. Go figure. Naturally, like most soups, carrot and ginger soup is excellent for storing. That way you can make big batches at one time and unfreeze it when more is needed. How’s that for saving even more time? Ginger and carrot soup doubles up in function too – it’s delicious in small amounts as a starter, or eaten with something like crusty bread, makes a great, and filling, main course. Your call, obviously.

Studies have also shown that diets high in beta-carotene may help with various types of cancer prevention. They’re also packed with fiber and may also help with diabetes control and lowering blood pressure. Really, what’s not to like? Time to make a big batch of carrot and ginger soup, I think.
