Ingredients

• 1 large onion, chopped

• 1/2 Tbsp ginger, grated

3. Bring to boil over high heat. Reduce to low, cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until carrots are very soft, about 30 minutes.

5. Return the soup to the pot, season with salt and pepper, and heat until hot. If the soup is too thick, add water.
