1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 small onion, diced (1 cup diced onion)
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbsp fresh grated ginger
1 large apple
1.5 pounds carrots, peeled and chopped (5 cups)
4 cups vegetable broth
pinch of nutmeg
kosher salt, freshly ground pepper to taste

Here is how you make Carrot Apple Ginger Soup:

In a large pot, add 1 tbsp olive oil over low-medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook for about 5 minutes until translucent. Add minced garlic and giner and cook for another couple of minutes on low. Add chopped apple and carrots and cook for a few minutes more. Add the vegetable broth, stir, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low-medium and simmer for 20 minutes, or until tender.Carefully transfer this mixture into a blender, or you could use an immersion blender. Add a pinch of nutmeg, and blend until smooth. You might need to do this in 2 batches depending on the size of your blender. You don't want the blender more than halfway full or it might explode through the top. Make sure to allow steam to escape through the top of the blender lid too.Add salt and pepper to taste. You can also thin the soup out a bit with more broth. Serve and garnish with freshly ground pepper and a drizzle of olive oil. Goes well with fresh bread.Serving Size: 5 1-cup servingsNumber of Servings: 5Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user WALKAWAY.
