Carrot Ginger Soup

We seem to always have extra carrots on hand and this carrot ginger soup is the perfect way to use them up! In addition to being full of fall flavor, this soup is also packed with nutrients. Carrots contain vitamin A, an antioxidant that supports healthy vision. Even though they aren’t a bright color, white vegetables like garlic and onions are also rich in antioxidants!
