Healthy and warming carrot soup

There is nothing like a warm healthy soup on a cold day. The main ingredients carrots and ginger are extremely good for our body. Also carrots are believed to be one of those foods who help the body fighting against cancer. The same can be said about ginger plus it is rich in antioxidants and has anti-inflammatory effects.


2 medium onions, chopped
about 6 medium carrots, cut small
2 cm ginger grated
2 cloves garlic minched
5 cups  vegetable broth (organic)
juice from 2 oranges.
salt
pepper
coconut milk if desired
coconut oil or other oil

Brown the onion in the oil in a saucepan, add the carrots and ginger and soften a bit. Add vegetable broth, together with the orange juice.  Add salt and pepper to taste. Allow this to boil at low heat for approx. 15-20 minutes.  Use filter and put most of the liquid aside. The rest of the soft veggie bland goes into the food processor or the blender.  Puree well. Add puree back to the saucepan and add liquid ( Don´t use all the liquid if you want to have your soup a bit thicker).  I usually add a little bit of coconut milk into the soup to get a creamier texture, but it´s not necessary.  I decorate the soup with a little bit of grated orange peel and a basil leaf.
