Easy Carrot Ginger Soup

This is super easy and – we all agreed – deeelish!

Ingredients

• Trader Joe’s Mirepoux (if you don’t have this, you can sub 1 cup onion, one cup celery, and use a full pound of chopped carrots)
• 3/4 lbs chipped carrots (in addition to what is in the mirepoux)
• A heaping tablespoon of grated ginger (I like the jar of fresh grated; saves time rather than grating it yourself)
• 1/4 cup miso paste
• 1 teaspoon herbs de Provence (can sub dried thyme, rosemary, or sage)
• 1/2 can coconut milk

Directions

• Sauté the onion in oil until translucent
• Add the celery and cook 5 minutes
• Add the chopped carrots, ginger, and herbs
• Stir in enough water to cover the carrot mixture by one inch
• Add miso paste and stir to dissolve once the water has heated up
• Cover and simmer until the carrots are soft, about 30 minutes
• Use an immersion blender to purée the mixture
• Stir in the coconut milk and ground black pepper to taste

Enjoy!
