This recipe for gingered carrot soup is one of my favorite recipes that my Mom shared with me. I’ve actually been making this since before I had a food photography blog. I decided to reshoot the recipe and share it with you.
Recipe Notes For Gingered Carrot Soup
Use Dairy Free Ingredients
My favorite part about this soup (besides the taste) is that it’s completely dairy-free. It smells so comforting as it’s simmering on the stove too. And, with a brand new year ahead and a bunch of new ideas surrounding me, this soup is exactly what I need to slow down and get inspired for the year ahead.
