Carrot Ginger Coconut Soup
Now winter has officially arrived there is nothing more satisfying and nourishing than a bowl of hot soup on a cold winters night. You will absolutely love my creamy Carrot, Ginger and Coconut Soup and I know it will become a favourite over the winter months. I love to roast my carrots to bring out the sweetness. The sweetness of the carrots, paired with the fresh ginger and zesty lime make for the most delicious flavour combination. Grab all your ingredients from your local Huckleberry’s and make a big pot at the beginning of the week. It’s also the perfect soup to take to work on those cold chilly days.
