Instructions

  1. Cut the carrots into 2 inch pieces.
  2. Dice the beets.
  3. Steam both together until tender, approximately 10 minutes.
  4. Slice the leeks into thin pieces.
  5. Spray a small skillet with non-stick olive oil.
  6. Saute the leeks and ginger until the leeks are translucent.
  7. In a food processor or blender, puree all ingredients together.
  8. If you want a creamier textured soup, you may choose to puree the vegetables in the food processor (this will puree quickly and simply in 2 rounds) and then transfer to the blender.
  9. The blender, being smaller, requires you to whip the soup in several smaller batches to make a truly creamy carrot soup.
  10. Reheat and garnish with cilantro.
