Gingery Beet and Carrot Soup
After spending the day working in a local organic farm, my husband came home with a bag full of beets and carrots. After searching online for some inspiration on what to do with them, I adapted the following recipe and made a delicious batch of gingery soup! I had never been a fan of beets, but this soup was absolutely delicious! And the color is amazing - an unreal red! I've been a beet convert ever since.
This recipe features Kauai grown beets, carrots, ginger, onion, and orange.
This delicious soup freezes and reheats well. Its vibrant color of red makes a great addition to any holiday dinner table.
