If anyone’s still reading, this soup is pretty good. It comes from the fabulous Anne-Catherine Bley, proprietor of Le Bar A Soupes in Paris. I added about 1/3 cup of grated ginger, 3 cloves of garlic, and a pinch of curry powder to the mixture. That was a good choice.

This sounds delicious. I love carrots, and so does Mr. Twistie.

The ginger made the soup. And made the house smell amazing.
I have been buying Pacific Foods’ carrot-cashew ginger soup and enjoying it for a while. This seems like a GREAT homemade version.
Cashews intrigue me. Protein!
I should have said above – I add the ginger, garlic, and additional spices during the “cooking onions in olive oil” phase.
