Souped Up Carrot Soup
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoon butter
  • 2 cup leeks, chopped
  • 3 tablespoon fresh ginger, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 3 cup carrots, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3 cup chicken stock or broth
  • 2 cup water
  • 2 tablespoon honey
  • kosher salt, to taste
  • freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • chives, chopped, for garnish
Directions
  1. Melt the butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the leeks, ginger, and garlic and cook until the leeks are soft, about 5 to 6 minutes. Add the carrots, allspice, and cinnamon and stir well to combine. Add the stock and water, raise the heat to high, and bring it to a boil.
  2. Turn the heat down and simmer until the carrots are soft, about 10 to 12 minutes. Skim off any foam that may form. Purée the soup in batches in a blender. Return the soup to the heat and stir in the honey. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve garnished with chopped chives.
