<p style="font-weight: 400;">After two consecutive weekends of traveling, I'm feeling the need for a good detox and some <!--more-->home-cooked meals. This soup is a breeze to make, and it helps your body get back on track. I love the ginger in this recipe because it eases bloating—a common issue after eating out frequently. The garlic can help ward off colds and boost your immune system. I like to add a touch of local maple syrup for its allergy-fighting properties and a hint of sweetness.</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">Given that I enjoy <a href="https://loveforthyself.com/how-to-coupon-like-a-boss/">couponing</a> and freezing nearly everything I cook, I make this soup with frozen carrots and onions—it turns out perfectly every time! If I don't have petite snacking carrots on hand, I use a <a href="https://amzn.to/3Ud2yvW">food scale</a> to measure the diced carrots I keep frozen. I usually buy a 3-pound bag from Costco, then peel, dice, and flash-freeze them so I always have carrots ready for my soups. If you do have petite snacking carrots, just grab a regular 16-ounce bag, and you're good to go! Dinner should be this simple.</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">I prefer using my <a href="https://amzn.to/3USU1Al">dutch oven</a> for this recipe, but a <a href="https://amzn.to/3T4Mjl0">large stock pot</a> would suffice as well. Since this soup will be <a href="https://amzn.to/48qI9sr">blended</a>, it's advisable to avoid using cookware with Teflon coating. Opting for a non-coated pot allows you to blend the soup directly in it, minimizing cleanup—a real bonus when striving for a fuss-free meal!</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">I usually accompany this soup with my homemade <a href="https://loveforthyself.com/artisanal-delight-rustic-crusty-bread/">Rustic Crusty Bread</a>. Crafting it myself ensures full control over the ingredients, and the simplicity of the recipe helps me rejuvenate my body effortlessly.</p>
