Carrot Ginger Soup

Recipe and photo from Chef Katie Hueth

We love anything carrot–especially Chef Katie’s carrot ginger soup. Nutrient rich, soothing, immune boosting, what’s not to love?

Ginger:

• supports brain function

• may inhibit some forms of cancer

• fights respiratory viruses

• promotes digestive health

Carrots contain:

• Beta Carotene

• vitamin K

• vitamin C

• calcium.

We don’t peel the carrots.  Wash them well, and buy organic when you can so you don’t have to worry about pesticides.
