Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Scoop seeds out of the butternut squash half, and place cut side down onto a greased baking sheet. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until softened. Allow to cool, then scoop the squash flesh out of the skin using a large spoon and set aside. Discard skin.
- Heat olive oil in a large saucepan or soup pot over medium heat. Add chopped onion and garlic, and cook, stirring until onion is translucent. Pour in the water, and add squash, carrots and ginger. Bring to a boil, and cook for at least 20 minutes, or until carrots and ginger are tender.
- Puree the mixture in the blender, or using an immersion blender. Add boiling water if necessary to thin, but bear in mind this is meant to be a thick creamy soup. Return soup to the pan, and heat through. Season with salt, pepper and cinnamon.
- Ladle into serving bowls, and pour a thin swirl of cream over the top as a garnish if desired.

CREAM OF CARROT SOUP WITH GINGER AND ROSEMARY
I don't remember where I got this recipe from but it is one of my favorite "entertaining" soup recipes. When we have guests for dinner I always include a soup as a starter, and this one is always a hit with its delicate flavor and smooth consistency. My children always enjoyed this soup as well.

CANNED CARROT AND GINGER SOUP
This recipe may make about 2 quarts. I double or triple it, depending on my carrot supply from my garden. It must be pressure canned. Do not process/ can with cream added. Add cream only when ready to serve. This recipe DOES NOT follow USDA canning rules. If this bothers you, do not continue reading. The concern is that the heat may not penetrate into the middle of the quart jars because the soup is thick. However, I (and many others) have canned it for years with no problem.

WEIGHT WATCHERS (WW) ZERO POINT CARROT AND GINGER SOUP
This came from a leaflet in a Weight Watchers meeting. I have replicated it as the original recipe but i found for my tastes I liked a little more ginger and a little less water to make it thicker. It freezes well and is ideal for when the munchies strike. I think this would also be nice if the ginger was replaced with cumin or chili and the stock with coconut milk (although this would add a points value)

SPICY CARROT AND GINGER SOUP WITH HARISSA
Steps:
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat until shimmering. Add leeks, onions, garlic, and ginger, and cook, stirring frequently, until vegetables are softened but not browned, about 5 minutes. Add cumin, coriander, and harissa paste and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add carrots and stir to coat in spice mixture. Add broth (see note above), season with a pinch of salt, bring to a boil, reduce to a bare simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until carrots are completely tender, about 20 minutes. 2 Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add pine nuts, reduce heat to low, and cook, tossing and stirring constantly, until fragrant and nutty brown, about 10 minute. Transfer to a bowl. Let cool for a few moments, then stir in parsley, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt. 3 When carrots are tender, transfer half of soup to a blender. Start blender on lowest speed and slowly increase speed to high. With blender running, slowly drizzle in remaining 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil. Transfer soup to a clean pot, pressing it through a fine mesh strainer or chinois if desired. Repeat with remaining soup and 2 more tablespoons olive oil. When all the soup is puréed, season to taste with salt and whisk in lemon juice. 4 Serve soup immediately, topped with pine nut and parsley mixture.
Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid any mishaps.
- Choose the Right Carrots: Look for fresh, firm carrots that are deep in color. Avoid carrots that are limp or have blemishes.
- Use Fresh Ginger: Fresh ginger has a much more intense flavor than ground ginger. If you can, use fresh ginger whenever possible.
- Don't Overcook the Vegetables: Overcooked vegetables will lose their flavor and nutrients. Cook them just until they are tender.
- Season to Taste: Don't be afraid to taste the soup as you go and adjust the seasonings accordingly.
- Garnish with Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs, such as cilantro or parsley, can add a pop of color and flavor to the soup.
Conclusion:
Carrot and ginger soup is a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover carrots and ginger. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious carrot and ginger soup that your whole family will enjoy.
