Carrot & Ginger Summer Soup Recipe

Maybe it’s the warmer weather or that I am trying to up my vegetable game, but I have been on a massive carrot kick.

Carrot juice is a slam dunk and putting carrots in salads is always easy, but in an effort to avoid burn out, I have been experimenting using them in other forms. I stumbled across this Carrot and Ginger Soup recipe from Whole Foods and it has changed my life!

This soup is perfect to make ahead on a Sunday night for an easy weeknight dinner or great as an office lunch. Truthfully there is no wrong time to chow down on this soup – it’s so easy to make and wildly delicious. What could be better than a guilt free meal?
