Warming Carrot & Ginger Soup Recipe

Level: Really Easy, Cost: Cheap

This easy to make and healthy carrot & ginger soup is warming yet not too spicy. There are two methods of doing this which produce slightly different results. You can saute the onions first. Most people will saute first and this is the prefered accepted method. It caramelizes the onions and makes them slightly sweeter which changes and enriches the taste of the soup slightly. It also means they are sofer to cook. The other method is to put all the vegetables into the pot together. If I do this I cut the onions finer and the other vegetable too. I find they cook just fine. I'd try both to see which you prefer.
