Steps:
- Slice the carrots in half lengthwise and then into 2 inch chunks.
- Pour enough olive oil into the bottom of a heavy stockpot to coat the bottom. Add carrots and onions and saute over medium heat. Cook until the onions start turning translucent.
- Turn the heat down, add the garlic and continue cooking another 5 minutes.
- Add the ginger and cook another minute or two.
- Add the stock and enough additional water to cover the vegetables. Taste and add salt and pepper to your taste. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to barely simmer.
- Add 6 sage leaves (the remaining ones are for garnish). Cook until the carrots are very tender, about 45 minutes.
- Remove the sage leaves. Now you need to puree the soup. If you have an immersion blender, use at your own risk. It's hot soup. If using a regular blender, allow the soup to cool, then process in batches and add back to the pot.
- Bring the soup back up to a simmer and add the butter, sugar, and lemon juice. You just need the butter to melt. Taste and season again with salt and pepper if needed.
- This can be made up to 2 days in advance. Garnish with fresh sage leaves.

Steps:
- In a 2-quart microwave-safe dish melt the butter in the microwave at high power (100%) for 15 seconds, stir in the carrots, the sugar, the gingerroot, the broth, and the water, and microwave the mixture at high power for 20 minutes, or until the carrots are tender. In a blender purée the mixture with the lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste and divide the soup between 2 bowls.
Tips:
- Utilize fresh, high-quality carrots: Fresh carrots provide the soup with a naturally sweet and earthy flavor. Look for firm, deep-colored carrots without blemishes.
- Roast the carrots before blending: Roasting the carrots intensifies their flavor and adds a subtle smokiness to the soup. Toss the carrots with olive oil, salt, and pepper before roasting.
- Add ginger for a zesty kick: Fresh ginger adds a warm, spicy flavor to the soup. Use a microplane zester or grater to mince the ginger finely.
- Don't overcrowd the pot when sautéing the aromatics: Give the onions, celery, and garlic enough space in the pot to soften and brown properly. Avoid overcrowding, as this can result in steamed vegetables instead of sautéed ones.
- Simmer the soup gently: Bring the soup to a simmer and then reduce the heat to low. Simmer gently for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Use vegetable broth for a flavorful base: Vegetable broth adds depth and richness to the soup. You can use store-bought or homemade vegetable broth.
- Season the soup to taste: Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning as needed. Add salt, pepper, and additional ginger or cayenne pepper to your preference.
- Serve the soup with your favorite toppings: Garnish the soup with chopped fresh herbs, a drizzle of olive oil, or a dollop of Greek yogurt before serving.
