Carrots are the workhorse of the soup kitchen - always there, adding subtle sweetness and beautiful color. This soup celebrates carrots by making them the star, using lots of them to create a naturally sweet, vibrantly orange soup that's packed with beta-carotene.
A touch of fresh ginger enhances the carrots' natural sweetness without overpowering it, while fresh dill adds an unexpected but delightful herby note. This is comfort food that's good for you.
