This is one of my favourite cold weather soups. Spice it up with as much ginger as you like and let yourself be warmed from the inside out! Great with freshly baked wholegrain bread, rolls or crackers. This recipe is based on one found in the Vitamix Cookbook! If you don’t like tofu, replace it with cooked rice, quinoa or soaked cashews.
PS you will find an excellent recipe for quinoa crackers on Wendy Polisi’s blog!
Ingredients
2 cups carrots (2-3 carrots)
1/4 small onion

1-2 tablespoons fresh ginger, peeled
1/3 cup tofu
2 cups vegetable broth
Fresh ground pepper
Instructions
Chop carrots, onion and garlic by hand, or in blender.
Sauté onions in oil about 5 minutes. Add carrots and garlic and sauté 5 additional minutes. Add a little broth if dry.
Place all ingredients in blender. Blend on high for 5 to 10 minutes, until steamy and smooth.
Serve with freshly ground pepper.
