JENNR8R 0 #1 October 2, 2007 What is your favorite soup recipe? Now that it is October, I'm thinking about making soup. I tried this recipe tonight for my son's birthday. It came out rather tasty. I had never cooked with shallots or fresh ginger before. Carrot Ginger Soup 3 tablespoons Butter 3 Shallots, whites only, chopped 1 medium Onion, chopped 3 cloves Garlic, crushed 3 tablespoons fresh Ginger, crushed 2 pounds Carrots, sliced 1-½ tablespoons fresh Thyme fresh ground Pepper, to taste 4 cups low sodium Chicken or Vegetable Broth ¼ cup fresh Parsley 1 pint Heavy Cream Salt, to taste Melt the butter over medium heat in a soup pot. Add shallots, onion, garlic and ginger. Saute for 5-10 minutes until onions soften and smell filters into home. Add carrots, thyme, fresh pepper to taste, and broth. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and remove lid slightly. Cook until the carrots are soft. Once carrots are soft, remove from heat, add parsley. Using a handheld blender, puree the soup. Add cream and stir. Add salt to taste.What do you call a beautiful, sunny day that comes after two cloudy, rainy ones? -- Monday. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JENNR8R 0 #9 October 2, 2007 Have you cooked with ginger before? I had no clue how to crush it. I peeled it and put it through the garlic press. It was a bit harder to do than the garlic. I felt like I had a weight-lifting workout afterwards. How is it supposed to be crushed? What do you call a beautiful, sunny day that comes after two cloudy, rainy ones? -- Monday.
