Carrot Apple Ginger Soup Recipe

Ingredients

• 6 medium carrots
• 2 sticks celery
• 1 medium onion
• 1 knob of fresh ginger (about the size of your thumbnail)
• 1 medium apple
• 1 litre vegetable stock
• 2 tablespoons groundnut oil

Equipment

• Chopping board
• Sharp knife
• Large pot (with a secure lid)
• Vegetable peeler
• Large wooden spoon
• Stick blender/jug blender

Method

1. Put the pot onto the hob and turn onto a medium heat.
2. Pour the groundnut oil into the pot so that it can warm up.
3. Peel and chop the onion into small chunks.
4. Peel and chop the ginger finely.
5. Put both the ginger and onion into the pot and stir well.
6. Next, peel and roughly chop the carrots and celery. Note – I peel celery if it’s on the old & woody side, it stops your soup from becoming stringy.
7. Add the celery and carrots to the pot and stir.
8. Last to peel, core and chop is the apple – it stops it from going brown.
9. Add the apple to the pot and stir around.
10. Pour the stock over all the vegetables and bring the pot to a simmer.
11. Cover the pot with the lid and leave to simmer for approximately 45 mins.
12. .After which time the vegetables should all be tender.
13. Turn off the pot and leave for 15 mins before blending and serving.
14. Normally while the soup is cooling a little I butter some bread and wrap it in tinfoil before placing into the oven at 180 degrees Celsius for hot buttered, soft bread.  It’s a good trick if your bread is a little bit hard after a few days.
