Creamy Carrot Ginger Soup

Carrots are loaded with beta-carotene which converts to vitamin A in our bodies. They are also a great source of fiber, vitamin K, potassium and antioxidants. What I love about this creamy soup is that the ginger gives it that needed zest to make your taste buds explode with excitement.
