Equipment

  • 1 Blender
  • 1 large pot with lid

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups roughly chopped carrots
  • ½ cup chopped parsnip
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • ¼ small onion
  • 1 teaspoon chopped garlic
  • 1 teaspoon chopped ginger
  • 3 cups filtered water
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable "better than bullion" base
  • ⅛ teaspoon turmeric optional, used for color
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice optional

Instructions
 

  • Wash, peel, and coarsely chop carrots and parsnips. Dice onion, garlic and ginger.
  • In a large pot, heat one tablespoon of olive oil. Add onions and cook for 2 minutes or until translucent. Add diced garlic and ginger. Continue cooking for another minute.
  • Add carrots, parsnips, turmeric, "better than bullion" and water. Cover the pot with the lid, bring everything to boil, simmer on low for about 30 minutes or until vegetables are tender and soft. Turn off the heat and let the soup cool down for at leas 15 minutes.
  • Carefully transfer the soup to Vitamix container. Blend at high speed for a few minutes until very creamy (Caution Hot!). Pour the soup back to the pot, add some lemon juice and give it a mix. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • fry garlic and ginger only until they release aroma, for about 1 minute. Do not burn garlic, it will taste bitter and ruin the soup.
  • Vitamix maximum safe temperature is 170°. Let the soup cool down before transferring to Vitamix container.
  • You can use stainless steal immersion blender instead.
  • Be careful while blending - the soup will be very hot.
  • If you like more salty food, add salt by taste.
