Yes, we all use cookbook recipes and modify. So, that is what this is. I love the “One Peaceful World” cookbook, but sometimes their ingredients can be a bit exotic or not quite to my taste so I feel free to change a bit. Who’s to know-Right?

1. Heat a little olive oil in a large pot. I used about 2 tablespoons.
2. Add one small diced yellow onion and about 3 cups of chopped carrots. This is about 6 or so large carrots-peeled.
3.  Add your favorite broth-vegetable or chicken. Beef broth is not good in this recipe. It does not go well with the carrot flavor. If you have nothing else, just use water. That is not bad.
4. Add ginger powder to taste. The original recipe calls for 2 teaspoons of ginger juice or sauted ginger, but the powder is just as good and very easy and on hand.
5. Low boil for about 30 minutes stirring occasionally. Blend with an immersion blender or parse batches into your blender. If you make soup a lot, it pays you to buy an immersion blender. It makes life so much easier.
6. Cool and taste and adjust salt, pepper and ginger to YOUR taste. Serve warm with crusty bread and real (yes, real) butter.

Remember, no recipe is worth a damn unless YOU like it!

PS-This freezes and also keeps well  in the fridge. I put it in a screw top tupperware container.
