Carrot Soup

A super simple recipe packed with flavour and freshness!!

I got a nice big bag of carrots in my Apple A Day order here in Moncton, yesterday in my $50 biweekly order of produce. I order on their Facebook page Apple a Day Moncton on a Tuesday morning before 10 am, then they deliver it by 5 pm the same day!

There's a few different ways to order. You can order items individually by adding them to your cart and they have a big variety of products to choose from. I personally love the bargain boxes!!

You can find the fruit bargain box for $25 on the last page of their "fruit" section and then I hop over to the last page in the vegetable section and add a $25 bargain box of veggies!

$50 for two weeks of produce that lasts much longer than the produce you purchase at any local grocery store!! Don't let the word bargain fool you, it's the freshest products ever, bargain is because of the deals not the produce. There's a delivery fee and that will depend on the area of Moncton that you're in, but for us, it's $6!! So a grand total of $56 that is delivered to my front door, I'm really okay with this because grocery prices are insane!!

Ingredients

2 pounds of Carrots chopped

1 medium Onion chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

1 teaspoon of Ginger powder

1 tablespoon of Garlic purée

3 cups of Vegetable broth

2 tablespoons of Vegetable oil

Instructions

• Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions, salt and pepper and cook until softened, about 7 minutes. Add the garlic purée and carrots to the pot and cook 7 minutes or so, stirring occasionally.

• Stir in the ginger and broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes.

• Let cool slightly and transfer to a blender. Blend until smooth. If your soup is too thick, add a little water or vegetable stock.

If you don't have vegetable stock on hand, use the peels from the onion and carrots and add water to a pot and boil for 10 minutes then strain the broth into soup pot.

Darn Good Stuff!!
