Ginger and Carrot Soup Recipe

Ginger and Carrot Soup 

Scientifically speaking, eating one serve of carrots a day has been correlated to reduce the risk of heart attack and some types of cancer... add to this mix the addition of the five best cancer fighting spices... garlic, ginger, turmeric, cinnamon and cayenne pepper and you have not only a healthy soup but also one of the sweetest soups that the whole family will love.

• Soften some red onion in a little butter and add to this fresh minced garlic, fresh grated ginger and fresh grated turmeric... if you don't have fresh dried will suffice however do yourselves a favour and invest in the fresh herbs and spices when your doing your veggie shopping you'll wonder why you waited so long... true!
• When softened add your diced carrots, a small amount of diced sweet potato for a thicker textured result, a teaspoon of cinnamon, a sprinkle of cayenne, a teaspoon of vegetable stock powder... stir and coat everything in the butter and yummy spices to start the cooking process for about 5 minutes... then finally add enough hot water to cover the amount of veg you have used as this will govern the amount of soup you will make...don't peel your carrots as the majority of their goodness lies in or just below the skin... wash only.

• Soup is cooked in about 15 minutes once the carrots have softened and cooked through... puree with a stick blender and serve...
