Though relatively simple, this soup is nice because the ingredients are easy to have on hand--carrots are fairly hardy in the fridge and the ginger can be peeled and frozen for later use. The ginger in this soup gives it a nice warmth and makes it nice to eat in the winter, either as a hearty snack or a easy appetizer.
Give it a try and let me know how it goes!
