In our most recent issue, we did a soup feature and this Creamy Carrot Ginger Soup was one of the delicious additions to the section. In fact, we were so busy licking the bowls that we didn't realize we left out one of the main ingredients in the recipe--carrots! So, here's the recipe with all the ingredients intact so you can taste just how awesome this soup is.  

Creamy Carrot Ginger and Cilantro Soup

4 cups organic carrots, chopped
1 large organic onion, chopped
1 clove organic garlic, chopped
1 Tbsp. ginger, peeled and chopped
5 cups water
1-3” piece wakame
1 Tbsp. coarse sea salt
1 Tbsp. tamari
1 cup chopped cilantro
1 cup crème fraiche or sour cream  

Place everything into soup pot except for crème fraiche or sour cream.  Bring to a boil and let simmer approx. 30 minutes or until carrots are tender.  Puree.  Turn off heat and stir in crème fraiche.  Stir well to combine.  Serve.   Recipe by: Sandy Pomeroy
