• 1 whole lime
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro

Instructions

1. 1

   Peel and chop the carrots into small pieces for even cooking. You should have about 4 cups of chopped carrots.

2. 2

   Peel and finely chop the onion and ginger.

   In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 5 minutes, until translucent.

   Add the chopped ginger to the pot and sauté for an additional 2 minutes, until fragrant.

5. 5

   Add the chopped carrots, 4 cups of vegetable broth, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper to the pot. Bring to a boil over high heat.

6. 6

   Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the carrots are tender.

7. 7

   Remove the pot from heat. Use an immersion blender to purée the soup until smooth. If you don’t have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender.
