Carrot and Ginger Soup Recipe

I love Ginger and this as a result is one of most favorate soups.  You can leave the Ginger in if you grate it finely – though most people prefer the soup when the Ginger is removed before serving.  Use fresh ginger and fresh carrots – always the best way.

• 1lb of carrots, peel and chop them to your own preference
• 1 large potato – chop
• 1 piece of ginger root – peel off skin and chop
• 2 pints of water
• 1 oz single cream
• salt and pepper to taste

Place the carrots, potato, and ginger in a pan with the water and bring it to the boil them let it simmer for about 20 minutes.

Remove from the heat – remove the ginger at this point if you have not grated it.

Empty the contents of the pan into a blender and blend until you have a smooth consistency.

Add the salt and pepper to taste and the cream if you so desire – the cream sets it all off in my view – but so many people now are watching what they eat.
