Carrot-Ginger Soup

This soup is so simple, with the main ingredient being only carrots, and no potatoes or cream to thicken it. I'm sure there are many directions in which the flavors could travel, but I prefer to make it with a predominantly Indian taste. Feel free to adjust the spicy-level as necessary. I like it with a moderate to intense heat, but you can add more or less cayenne and crushed red pepper to suit your own taste. The final product should be smooth and evenly blended, so you will need some kind of food processing device to get it right. Submitted by: EHD630

Had a very good flavor and was excellent as a side dish. I might try and up the spice to more nostril-searing levels next time, though. - 1/7/09

I make a recipe almost identical to this (minus the chilis) and we all really love it. It's hearty, filling, and very healthy. It easily feeds my family of 4 as the main dish with some left over for the next day's lunch. Try it, you'll like it! - 11/4/08

Thank you for your positive comment. The extra heat you get with the chilies is very nice. My family loves it :)
