# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It comes together in under an hour with ingredients you probably already have
  • The ginger gives it this incredible warmth that lingers without being overpowering
  • It freezes beautifully so you can make a double batch and thank yourself later
02 -
  • Hot soup expands rapidly in a blender so never fill it more than halfway and vent the lid
  • The lemon juice is not optional it makes all the flavors pop
  • This soup tastes even better the next day as the ginger continues to meld
03 -
  • Use young thin carrots if you can find them they are sweeter and need less peeling
  • Grate your ginger on the smallest holes of a box grater for the smoothest texture
