Ingredients
- 3 Tbsp butter or olive oil
- 1 sweet onion peeled and diced
- 2 Tbsp minced fresh ginger
- 1 1/2 pounds carrots peeled and rough chopped
- 6 cups chicken stock vegetable stock, or water
- 1/4 - 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 pinch saffron threads
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 limes juiced, (use to taste)
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a soup pot and saute the onion and ginger for 10 minutes, stirring often. Don't let it brown.
- Add the carrots and stock or water. Add the cayenne and saffron. Bring to a boil, turn down the heat, cover, and simmer on low for about 20 minutes, or until the carrots are just tender.
- Working in batches, puree the soup until smooth.
- Put back in the rinsed out pot, and reheat. Thin with more stock or water if necessary. Add the lime juice, and salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.
Notes
- If you don't have saffron you can use a pinch of turmeric to boost that golden color.
- This soup can also be served chilled.
