Vegan Curried Carrot-Ginger Soup

Time to take off for the holidays....so what does that mean????....Time to use up some produce while we are away!  What is better than making a yummy soup?  Use up some produce, enjoy a great dinner, and then freeze the rest!!!



My loving parents bought me a great gift and I could not wait to use it!  Nothing better than having a new fun toy to use in the kitchen....it is my time to dork out!!!!  Time to use my hand held blender!

As much as I love my food processor and Ninja, having a hand held blender reduces the stress and mess of transferring a hot soup (or cold recipe) to another apparatus.  Easy to clean, easy to use....it may be my all time favorite, especially since I am a puree and soup freak!




It is quite obvious that I love making soups.  They are perfect for cold, chilly nights!  Not to mention, great to cool down with in those summer months (sigh...only Chicago winter has begun).  Anyway, soups are great, regardless of what season it is.   So let's warm up with some Curried Carrot-Ginger Soup!  Serve it with a side of sprouted bread, even better!
