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.
