Easy carrot ginger soup recipe made with simple ingredients. Quick and delicious- Ready in under 40 minutes.
Carrot ginger soup is one of my favorite soup recipes for the cooler months. The first time I ever made it we were stationed in Hawaii. Even though it wasn’t cold, it was fall, and a part of me was missing the cool autumn air of New England.
Even though it was a pleasant 78 degrees, I made this soup and turned up the air conditioning to pretend we were back home in the cool weather.
