Carrot Ginger Soup
By Grammie926
This carrot ginger soup recipe celebrates an ingredient that too few of us keep in the kitchen. Ginger is one of the most under-used ingredients in western cooking.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons of butter, or a few of splashes of olive oil (or half of each)
- Small pinch of salt
- 1 pound carrots, chopped
- 1 medium onion, chopped

- 1 teaspoon ginger, chopped or grated (what would a carrot ginger soup recipe be without it!)
- 5 cups chicken broth or stock; or use vegetable stock for vegetarian version.
- Zest of half a lime
- Juice of one lime
