This soup may be served hot or cold and you may substitute any root vegetable. It is simple and delicious but depends heavily on good fresh vegetables and ginger as well as a good vegetable stock.

Serves 4–6

Ingredients:

4 Tbs. unsalted butter or olive oil
2 lg. shallots, chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 Tbs. fresh ginger, grated (more or less to taste)
2½ lbs. carrots, peeled and chopped into even pieces
4 cups vegetable stock, water, or a combination, hot
freshly ground pepper

Method:

1. Melt butter in a large, heavy saucepan over medium-low heat. Add shallots and cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook for another 2 minutes. Don't let the garlic brown. Add the carrots and ginger. Stir well. Cover and cook over low heat until carrots is slightly tender, stirring occasionally. Add hot stock, cover and simmer until tender.
2. Puree in batches in blender, food processor or use an immersion blender. Add salt and pepper, taste, adjust seasonings if necessary.
3. If serving hot, thin with additional stock or water if necessary. If serving cold, cover and chill.
4. Garnish with croutons, a dollop of creme fraiche, or whatever you choose.
