Creamy Carrot Ginger Soup

Creamy Carrot Ginger Soup

Last year I had the most amazing carrot ginger soup at a little French bakery in Seattle.  I was sick and nothing sounded very appetizing except soup. Just a few sips of the creamy, sweet, faintly spicy soup and I started feeling better.

I’m sure that soup was laden with butter and cream so I started experimenting with healthified versions.  A year of experiments later and this recipe from Gina at Skinny Taste is the official winner. As creamy and comforting as the French original for a fraction of the calories, it’s a great soup to have on hand with more cold weather – not to mention flu season – on the horizon.

Paleo and gluten-free, this soup can easily be made vegan by using tofutti sour cream or leaving it out completely.

Creamy Carrot Ginger Soup

Ingredients

  • 1 tbs olive oil
  • 1 large white onion, diced
  • 3 c low sodium vegetable broth

Puree with an immersion blender or carefully in batches using a standard blender. Stir in sour cream, season to taste, and serve garnished with fresh chives.
