On days when I feel like I need to “clean up” my diet, I like to eat only whole, fresh foods.  Here is a creative way to add fruit and veggies together and at 125 calories per serving, you can even have a second helping guilt-free!  I made this in my Vitamix, but I have used a hand immersion blender before.  The blend of these flavors is so amazing and fresh.

Carrot Ginger Apple Soup

adapted from Vitamix recipe book

Ingredients:

1 lb. fresh organic carrots, chopped into 2 inch rounds

1 TBS coconut oil

1 inch fresh grated ginger

1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric

1 organic apple, cored and sliced (peel on)

4 cups of organic vegetable broth

1/4 cup crumbled Feta (optional and would no longer be vegan)

cilantro for topping (also optional)

Directions:

1.  Place carrots, sliced ginger, coconut oil and turmeric.  Sauté until soft.

2.  Add 2 cups of vegetable broth into sauce pan and let simmer until carrots are tender.

3.  Place cooked carrots and broth into Vitamix with sliced apples, secure lid. Select Variable 1 , then quickly turn to 10. Blend for 30-45 seconds slowly adding remaining 2 cups of vegetable broth to desired creaminess.  For those using a blender or hand immersion blender, follow steps 1 and 2, then add in the blender and blend, or place in a large bowl and use the hand immersion blender.

And look how pretty this is….

I added the crumbled feta to this because my husband likes it and it adds a little pizzaz.  You can easily leave it out (like me) to keep it vegan.  It’s still delicious.  I promise ๐Ÿ™‚

    Good morning! I made this a few minutes ago ๐Ÿ™‚ It is good, I just have a question that I probably should have asked before I made it? What size was the apple you used? the apples I had were pretty tiny, so I used two. Needless to say, the apple taste sticks out wayyyy more than the carrots ๐Ÿ™‚ Any insight would be great! Thank you!

      I used one medium sized apple. Maybe try it next time with just one? When I experiment with my recipes, if add more apple I just kind of wing and it add a little more of everything else ๐Ÿ™‚ Thanks so much!

      You can use another oil, olive oil or grapeseed would be great!
