CARROT & GINGER SOUP Recipe

Yield: 4 Servings

1. Saute onion in margarine, covered, for 5 minutes, without browning. Add the carrots & ginger. Cover and cook a further 10 minutes. Stir occasionally.

2. Add the stock or water and bring to a boil, then simmer gently for 15 min, until the carrots are tender. Puree the soup in a food procesor, then sieve (not really necessary).

3. Return soup to the rinsed-out pan, reheat gently and season to taste with pepper.

You may use parsnips instead of carrots and add 1 T. curry powder to the onions when you saute them. A swirl of yogurt on top is good and add some crisp croutons.
