What do I say about the taste of this soup! Your mind fights to identify a distinct taste; is it the sweetness of the carrots? Or then the tanginess of the orange? Wait! it is the sharpness of the ginger. I quite liked this eclectic mix of tastes in this Carrot Soup with Ginger and a Dash of Orange, and hope you do too.
With Mumbai temperatures suddenly deciding to deep to 12°C has me making all kinds of rasams and soups in a bid to keep warm. One of my favourites and one that I make often is this wonderful Carrot Soup with Ginger to which I add orange juice is swinging between

Love the combination of carrots and ginger. Actually, ginger goes well with sweet potatoes and squash as well and I even add it to vegetable soup
Orange makes this interesting! Must try it next time! 🙂
