Carrot, Apple, and Ginger Soup
The smooth texture of this soup will awaken your taste buds. It's slightly spicy, slightly sweet, and totally yummy.
Ingredients
- 1/2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root
- 6 cups Vegetable Broth or water see Recipe Notes
- 2 pounds carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
- 2 cups chopped apples, peeled
- 1 bay leaf
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Heat olive oil over medium heat in a large saucepan or stockpot. Add onion, and cook until translucent. Mix in garlic and ginger, and cook about 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add vegetable broth, carrots, apples, bay leaf, thyme, salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer 20 minutes, or until carrots are tender.
- Remove from heat, and allow soup to cool about 5 minutes. Discard bay leaf. Purée the soup in batches in a food processor or blender. When completely smooth, return to stovetop, and cook another 10 minutes.
- Yield: 8 serving (serving size: about 1 cup)
Notes
- I used Fuji apples, but you could use just about any type of apple, depending upon your personal preference.
- If you like this flavor combination, try the Orient Express juice recipe.
- If you don’t have time to make your own vegetable broth, you can use a store-brought brand that’s Daniel Fast friendly. I recommend Kitchen Basics Unsalted Vegetable Stock.
I love this soup! I made it a few times last year and just made a batch for this year’s January fast. Thank you for this wonderful recipe.
Thank you! Yes, it IS a great soup. I need to make it myself! 🙂
I made the carrot/apple ginger soup last night and added 1/2 cup of fresh turnip. I liked it. My husband thought the receipe should have called for more apple. He has more of a sweet tooth than I do. Great idea especially for those cold nights when you don’t feel like cooking to much.
I made the black beans minestrone soup, oatmeal cookies, date honey and last I made fresh asparagus w/almonds. I purchased your book last year. The greater Temple Baptist church we fast every Wednesday and the first 12 days of January. I read you book a d got so excited
Not just the recipes, the verses touched me. Thank you, God bless you and I will tell everyone about this book. GOD HEALED ME OF BREAST CANCER LAST YEAR, and I got good news last week. I am still free of BREAST cancer. Thank you for blessing me.
