Makes 4 servings

low cal carrot soup - very tasty. Can up the ginger content if you like it spicy. Can use chicken OXO cubes instead of stock

Ingredients
6 large carrots
1 medium onion
1 clove garlic
0.33 cup grated ginger
3 cups chicken stock
Directions
  1. Simmer the carrots, onion and garlic in water until tender.

  2. Drain the water into a cup and reserve.

  3. Grate the ginfger and add to carrot mixture.

  4. Blend the carrot mixture in a blender or food processor until smooth.

  5. Top up the reserved carrot water with chicken stock until you have 3 cups and reheat to boiling. You can use OXO cubes instead of stock - much easier and lower calories.

  6. Add the blended carrot mixture, stir and serve.

  7. Top with a smidge of black pepper and a tiny bit of sour cream for entertaining or leave alone.

  8. Serves 4. Keeps in fridge for 2 days and freezes well.
