Carrot Ginger Soup

I have taken the great ingredients I use in my nutri-smoothies and started thinking SOUPS!  This recipe has great flavors of curry, cinnamon, nutmeg and fresh ginger!

Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil 
  • 3/4 cup chopped onion 
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions 
  • 4 cups finely chopped carrot (about 1 1/4 pounds) 
  • 3 cups cubed peeled baking potato (about 1 pound) 
  • 1 tablespoon grated peeled fresh ginger
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon curry powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 3 (15.75-ounce) cans fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth 
  • 2 bay leaves 
  • Chopped green onions (optional) 

Preparation


Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onions; sauté 3 minutes. Add carrot and potato; cook for 1 minute. Add ginger and remaining ingredients; bring to a boil. Cover. Reduce heat; simmer 1 hour. Discard bay leaves. Place 6 cups in a food processor; process until smooth. Return to pan, and stir well. Garnish with green onions, if desired.
