Direction

In a stainless 8 quart or larger soup pot, sauté the onions in the olive oil until soft. Add garlic or shallots, then the minced fresh ginger and stir and meld together. Add the ground ginger and the shredded carrots, sliced potato and veggie stock. Simmer until the potatoes are soft. Remove from heat and stir in salt and pepper. Let cool for 20-30 minutes and puree the works in a blender or food processor. Put the soup back into the pot and add cow, soy or almond milk to the desired consistency, heat slowly and serve! This soup is also excellent served cold! Garnish with fresh minced coriander or Italian parsley.
