CANNED CARROT AND GINGER SOUP

Steps:

Add the stock to the vegetables and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a lively simmer and cook until the carrots are tender, approximately 30-35 minutes.

GINGER CARROT SOUP

Steps:

• Remove from heat and transfer to a blender. Don't fill the blender more than half way, do it in batches if you have to. Cover the blender and then hold a kitchen towel over the top of the blender*. Be careful when blending hot liquids as the mixture can spurt out of the blender. Pulse the blender to start it and then puree until smooth. Return to the pan and add cream, stir over high heat until hot. For a smoother flavor bring soup to a boil, add salt and pepper, to taste.

GINGER AND HONEY CARROT SOUP

Steps:

• Trim, peel, and cut the carrots into 1-inch lengths. Trim, peel, and chop the onion and garlic.
• In a heavy pot or Dutch oven, saute the onion in the butter and olive oil over medium heat, stirring, until translucent. Add the garlic and saute it for a few minutes, taking care not to let it brown.
• Add the water, carrots, ginger, and salt and cook until the carrots are very tender, about 45 minutes. Turn off the heat and let the soup cool.
• When the soup has cooled, puree it in batches in a food processor or blender. Return the puree to the pot and place it over medium-high heat. Bring the puree to a boil and reduce it to the desired thickness. Add the honey, stirring until dissolved. Taste, adjust the seasonings, if necessary, and serve immediately.
• To serve cold, remove the pan from the heat and let the soup cool completely. Cover the pot and refrigerate. When ready to serve, stir vigorously and ladle into chilled bowls, if desired

WINTER CARROT SOUP

Steps:

• In a saute pan, saute onions and garlic in a bit of oil (sesame is nice, but canola is just fine) until they start to look clear.
• Add carrots, pumpkin, and chicken broth.
• Stir to combine, and pick a few spices: nutmeg, cumin, paprika and cinnamon are my standards, but it's really up to you.
• A bit of salt is nice, too.
• Once the carrots have softened, ladle them into a blender and puree.
• Return to pot, and repeat if desired.
• You should have a nice thick bright orange soup.
• Now comes the tricky part.
• Produce rice, ideally from a forgotten Chinese food carton in the back of the fridge.
• (If no leftover rice or pasta is available, freshly cooked will work just as well.) Dump this square of gluten into a bowl, and add lemon juice (Tbsp+) and pepper.
• Microwave under plastic for about two minutes; the rice will soften and absorb the juice.
• Add this to the soup.
• Stir a few times to combine; serve.
• A note about the chicken broth: As a variation, I've substituted orange and apple juice, and watered wine.
• You may want to alter your spices a bit, but I think you'll be surprised at how bright this soup tastes.
