Golden Carrot Ginger Puree

How to make it

1. 1

   First, get all your ingredients ready. Peel and roughly chop the carrots, peel and finely mince the fresh ginger, and chop your yellow onion into small pieces.

2. 2

   Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add a splash of olive oil if you like, then toss in the chopped onion and ginger. Cook them gently for about 5 minutes until they are soft and fragrant.

3. 3

   Now add the chopped carrots to the pot. Pour in the vegetable broth, making sure the carrots are mostly submerged. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the carrots are very tender.

4. 4

   Carefully transfer the cooked carrots and broth mixture to a blender. Blend until the soup is completely smooth and creamy. Be careful when blending hot liquids; you might need to do it in batches or leave the lid ajar slightly to allow steam to escape.

5. 5

   Pour the blended soup back into the pot. Squeeze in the juice from your large orange. Give it a good stir. Taste and add salt and pepper if you wish. Warm through for a couple of minutes and serve hot.
