Carrot ginger soup

I love this website and get many of my recipes from here.  This soup is super cheap, easy, and tasty and for the most part I didn't make many changes from the original.

Ingredients:

• 1 tbsp unsalted butter 
• 1 large white onion, chopped
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 3 cups low sodium fat-free vegetable broth - I only had chicken broth on hand and it still turned out great
• 1 lb carrots, peeled and roughly chopped
• 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger - I used the big side of the grater and it worked great
• 1/4 cup fat-free sour cream - I added this but really don't think it's necessary and will prob leave it out next time
• salt and white pepper to taste

Methods:

1.  Melt butter in large saucepan or dutch oven and saute onions and garlic until soft.  If you are looking to reduce calories you can saute them in a little broth instead.

2. Add broth, carrots, and ginger and bring to a boil.  Reduce heat and simmer until carrots are soft, about 20-30 minutes.

3. Add sour cream, if desired, and then blend soup with immersion blend or transfer to blender if necessary.  Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
