Ingredients needed for making Creamy Ginger Carrot Soup

• 2 T. extra virgin olive oil
• 1 small sweet onion, diced

• Sea salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions for making Creamy Ginger Carrot Soup

1. Heat olive oil in a large, high-sided skillet over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, carrots, and bell pepper. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste, and cook, stirring frequently, until vegetables become soft and translucent, approximately 5 minutes.

3. Remove from heat and puree mixture with an immersion blender until smooth. (A regular blender or food processor can also be used for this step). Taste and adjust seasonings, as desired.
