Lemongrass-Ginger-Carrot Soup image

This simple soup can be eaten hot or cold, in winter, or in summer. Many are aware of the healing benefits of carrots, mainly the antioxidant-rich carotenoids that are known to pack anticancer powers. We love them because they're a simple and delicious food. Combine them with a hefty dose of gelatin-rich bone broth, a touch of lemongrass and ginger, and you're left with a bowl of soup that beats any sugar-laden cold-pressed juice on the market.

I thought this soup was very bland. I added some additional seasonings, and it was much better. I would recommend adding some salt, pepper, and maybe a bit of curry powder.
