Today's #SundaySupper is hosted by Pam of The Meltaways and I am bringing "Carrot Ginger Soup". The recipe is from my very good friend Petra - so maybe I should have called the Soup Petra's Carrot Ginger Soup. What do you think? This soup is so simple, yet so delicious. Bursting in flavor, and in color. This soup is not only easy and quick, but the portion size is easily adjusted for an unexpected crowd...

Splash of olive oil
1 onion diced
2 (large) garlic cloves minced
1" - 1-1/2" piece of ginger root. Peeled, and chopped into small pieces {the smaller the better}
2-3 lbs. of carrots, cleaned, and cut into chunks {I used about 20 large carrots}
4 C Water {or more}
1 vegetable broth bullion cube {read label carefully to make sure it is dairy free}
3-4 Sprigs of cilantro {optional}
Salt and pepper to taste
Squeeze of lemon {optional}
1/2 C of chopped cilantro for garnish {optional}
Plain Soymilk Creamer for garnish {optional} - splash for each bowl
1. heat olive oil in a large stock pot; when hot add onion and saute until onions are soft. Then add,
2. garlic, ginger, and carrots. When fragrant and carrots turn bright orange, add
3. Water, bullion cube, and {if using} cilantro. Cover, and bring to a slow simmer until carrots are soft
4. Remove cilantro, and carefully blend the soup with an immersion blender {it is hot be careful not to
burn yourself as the soup may splatter}.
5. Adjust salt, pepper, and add {if using} a couple lemon squeezes.
Serve in soup bowls - garnish with chopped cilantro and generous splash of plain soy creamer, and serve with - you guessed right - crusty bread...
