I had to push myself to post this soup before the spring weather takes over. Now you can certainly have this soup any time of the year, but for me winter and a warm bowl of soup always go hand in hand. After making this easy soup, I realized that you can puree most vegetables in a similar way to make soup. Yeah, I know I should have known it earlier given that I have been cooking for a decade 
. But, soups are certainly not my area and I am slowly getting out of that comfort zone.
The mild sweetness from the apples and the ginger add a lot of flavor to this soup. I have been trying to include more carrots in our daily cooking and this recipe is a keeper. Off to the recipe.
