Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 onion, chopped
• 3 cups chicken broth or vegetable broth
• 1 pound baby carrots or regular carrots, peeled and cut into rounds
• 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
• 1/4 cup sour cream or plain yogurt

Here’s how to make it:

1. Heat the olive oil in a soup pot. Add the onions and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
2. Add the broth, carrots and ginger. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat and cook until carrots are soft, about 25 to 30 minutes. To ensure that this soup is vegetarian, use vegetable broth.
3. Using an immersion blender, blend until smooth or carefully pour soup into a blender and pulse until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. If you don't have an immersion blender, use a regular blender. But be careful when blending hot liquids! Garlic lover? Add a clove to the soup before blending.
4. Serve in soup bowls with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt, chopped fresh parsley and a sprinkling of paprika. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
