Vegan Carrot Ginger Soup

This recipe was also inspired by my quest to detox without going nuts. This soup may taste very plain to some, but if you find that to be a problem, just add more ginger and I promise you will get more bite!

Ingredients

3 cups carrots, minced
4 1/2 cups water (or more if you want the soup to not be so thick)
2 inches fresh ginger, peeled and grated
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Bring the water to a boil and add the carrots and half the ginger. Cook on high for 15-20 minutes or until the carrots are soft. Transfer ingredients to a blender and blend on medium speed. As you are transfering the ingredients to the blender and you have a lot of liquid sitting on top, but prefer a thicker soup, remove some the liquid and add it back in as needed in order to reach the consistency you prefer. Add the remaining ginger and salt and pepper to the ingredients in the blender while blending. Transfer back to the pot and reheat if necessary or serve directly from the blender. If this is still too bland for you, add some powdered ginger and more pepper.
