My husband believes this soup has magical healing powers (he’s not wrong). Anytime either of us start to a tad sick, I make my carrot-ginger soup. It’s delicious and tastes so healthy.

Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 yellow onion, medium diced
- 3 tablespoons fresh ginger, peeled and grated

- kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 pounds carrots, peeled and sliced ¼ inch thick

- 2 sprigs fresh thyme
- ½ teaspoon baking soda

Instructions
- Melt butter in large saucepan over medium heat. Add onions, ginger, and garlic. Season with kosher salt to taste; cook, stirring frequently, until onions are softened but not browned.
- Increase heat to high; add carrots, sugar, broth, thyme sprigs, and baking soda. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, until carrots are very tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
