EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Use an immersion blender to easily puree this soup right in the slow cooker. It’s a handheld, wand-shaped blender with a rotary blade at one end that you can put right into the soup.

Gingerroot, has a very different flavor than ground ginger, and they’re not interchangeable. To prepare the gingerroot for this recipe, simply cut away the thin skin, then grate.

Had a delicious carrot with ginger soup on a cruise recently. I like this recipe, but it has way too much salt to be healthy-700mg per serving!
