Stay Warm With This Carrot Maple Soup

Looking for an easy healthy recipe to warm you up during those cold winter days? Try this carrot maple  soup. I am sure you will fight over it. It’s just that delicious!  I have never considered mixing carrot and maple syrup until I read a french cookbook suggesting that mix. The Carrot Maple soup looked delicious and I thought it will be a great twist on my usual caramelized carrot soup. Besides, it is ready within 40 minutes (preparation included).

Easy Healthy Recipe: Carrot Maple Soup

 Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• 2 onions chopped
• 1/4 cup of maple syrup
• 2 cups of baby carrots. The recipe called for 8 carrots diced.
• 8 cups of chicken broth
• salt and pepper
• 1 tsp of curry powder. You can replace it with this Blue Dragon Curry Paste.  I tried it both ways and I prefer it with the curry paste as it adds more flavor.
• optional: 1 tsp of ginger. I used fresh ginger shredded ginger.

Make this easy healthy recipe:

• In a large bowl, add olive oil, onions and ginger. Cook until onions are softened.
• Add the carrots, maple syrup and broth.
• Cover and let it simmer for 30 minutes.
• Then blend it well. I usually blend half of the soup first and then the second half after. My blender cannot sustain a large quantity of soup and I don’t want to have splashes all over the kitchen.

This carrot maple soup is perfect with a delicious cheddar  meat loaf, some garlic bread . It is great on those cold winter nights. I find it is also a great way to use those large bags of baby carrots that I buy from Costco. Those carrots are not very tasty after 5 days so adding them to this easy healthy recipe is a great way to repurpose them.
