Carrot & Ginger Soup
The Ultimate Comfort: Carrot & Ginger Soup Recipe
Baby, it’s cold outside! And in our house, that’s the perfect excuse to whip up a comforting bowl of soup. This Carrot & Ginger Soup is a family favorite, loved for its hearty, wholesome flavors with a spicy kick from fresh ginger. It’s quick, easy, and guaranteed to bring everyone back for seconds—even our son, Remi, who is always the first to ask for more when soups are on the menu!
Why We Love This Soup
I’m a soup enthusiast, and eating soup is one of the main reasons I can withstand the cold. This recipe not only warms you up but is also highly adaptable. Adjust the amount of ginger for a milder or spicier soup, or, if you’re feeling bold, add some chili pepper for an extra kick. Chef Eric has even turned up the creativity with a signature touch: whipped cream infused with chili pepper as a unique topping!
This soup is a testament to how simple, fresh ingredients can create a dish that’s as comforting as it is delicious. And when Chef Eric is in charge, you know it’s going to be a hit.
