Sweet with carrots, spicy (and soothing) with ginger, each cup of this smooth and satisfying soup delivers a truckload of nutrients in an exceptionally tasty package. Best of all, since there's no sautéing involved, it's perfect when you're super smell sensitive. (Ask your partner to chop the onions for you!)

Ingredients

  • 1 medium sweet onion, chopped
  • 1 bag (16 oz) baby carrots
  • 1 Tbsp minced fresh ginger
  • 4 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth or vegetable broth
  • Fresh lemon juice
  • Salt and black pepper
  • 8 Tbsp plain low-fat yogurt, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In large pot over medium-high heat, combine onion, carrots, and ginger. Add broth. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until carrots are soft.
  2. Let soup cool slightly. Working in batches if necessary, transfer soup to blender or food processor and puree until smooth.
  3. Return soup to pot, over medium-low heat. Season to taste with lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Cook until warmed through. Spoon into serving bowl; top each with 2 tablespoons of yogurt.
