I am always looking for ideas on how to use up ingredients left behind. I, as many people do, shop in bulk. The pricing is so appealing , but there can be so much waste with spoilage. That was how this recipe was born. It is such a great use for those beautiful left behind carrots. Recipe follows:
2 teaspoons ground ginger
2 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 medium onion chopped
1 1/2lbs. carrots (roughly chop)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups chicken broth
2 cups water
In a dutch oven or heavy bottom saucepan saute over medium -low flame chopped carrots, chopped onion, cumin and ginger for about 20 minutes
Add water and chicken broth and bring to a boil
Now reduce heat and cover simmer for 20 more minutes
Remove from heat and let rest for about 5 minutes
Use an immersion blender or regular blender to puree to almost smooth
Return to heat and add 3/4 cup of whole milk and stir until combined
Add salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
Serve hot
Enjoy!!!
