Quick variation

Note that I created this ginger carrot soup without onions to make it suitable to everyone, including those with onion allergy. If this is not a concern for you, feel free to add an onion in the recipe. In this case, sauté the chopped onion with a Tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot until onions are translucent. Then add the spices at this step, stir, and add the carrots. Pour the water/vegetable broth, and follow the remaining recipe instructions mentioned in the recipe card.
