- 1 onion, chopped

- 2 tablespoons minced gingerroot
- 1 ⁄4 cup white rice (any type)
- 4 cups vegetable or chicken stock or reduced-sodium ready-to-use vegetable or chicken broth

Preparation
Step 1
Directions
In a large pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for about 3 minutes or until starting to soften. Add the carrots and ginger; sauté for 5 minutes or until the carrots start to soften. Stir in the rice.
Add the stock and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes or until the carrots and rice are very soft.
Using an immersion blender in the pot or transferring soup in batches to an upright blender, purée until very smooth. Return to the pot.
Add water or more stock to thin to desired consistency. Reheat over medium heat until steaming, stirring often. Stir in the lemon juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
