If you are looking for a soup to please all palates and dietary needs (from vegan to paleo), this blended vegetable soup can deliver on so many levels.
Think: perfect starter course for your next dinner party OR quick and easy weeknight dinner.
By far the star of this recipe is the warming qualities that the fresh ginger brings in flavor and heat.
Ginger is well known for its ability to ease gastrointestinal distress and has also been found to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects on the body as well, making this the perfect feel-good soup.
Please note: If you are not a ginger fan the amount of ginger called for in this recipe is on the high side. Consider yourself well warned that you may want to adjust the amount of ginger you add to this soup to fit your personal needs!
