This soup was requested by one of my longest and best friends. We met when we were three and decades later we are still here for each other. I threw this together in under 30 minutes and made it with just a few good-for-you and simple ingredients like carrots, onion, ginger, and garlic. This soup is packed with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties and tastes amazing too.
I made it in one pot on the stovetop this time, but next time I am going to make it by roasting the carrots in the oven. Two different ways and options to make this in case your oven is in overdrive during the holidays or family gatherings. The good thing is that both ways take about the same amount of time from start to finish and it can be made ahead and it freezes well too!
