Carrot and Ginger Soup

This soup - the same as in Heinz tinned variety - is warm and spicy yet surprisingly fresh, combining carrots, grated root ginger and lime juice. It's perfect as a starter or main course

Dish Details:heart


INGREDIENTS:


360g carrots, peeled and finely chopped
80g onions, finely chopped
15g root ginger, peeled and chopped
280ml chicken stock
175ml water
150ml whipping cream
Juice of 1/2 lime
Salt and coarsely ground black pepper

Tip from Liz Trigg, cookbook writer and Heinz chef
Root ginger is freshest when its skin is smooth, silky and a light cream colour. To make it easier to peel, try and buy a piece that doesn?t have too many knobbly bits


PREPARATION:
1. Heat the pan and add a little vegetable oil. Add 260g of the carrots, the onions and ginger and cook for 5 minutes.

2. Pour on stock and water and cook for 10 minutes.

3. Puree soup with hand blender. Add remaining 100g carrots.

4. Stir in cream, lime juice and cook for 5 minutes.

5. Season with salt and pepper.

To make your soup extra special:

Adding a dollop of creme fraiche or Greek yogurt makes this soup more indulgent, whilst adding a slight sharpness to the well rounded flavours. Always add the freshly cut chives at the last moment before serving so they retain their fresh flavour and texture
