Carrots

Today's first recipe is a carrot soup. To make it higher in protein (for after surgery), I added protein powder when I blended.

Carrot Soup w/ Miso and Ginger 

• 4 cups carrots*, thinly sliced
•  1 large onion *, diced 
• 4 cloves garlic *, minced 
• 1 Tbsp ground ginger 
• 2 cups homemade chicken stock* 
• 2 cups water 
• 2 scoops whey isolate protein powder 
• 1/4 cup white miso paste 
• sesame oil (optional)

Heat oil in large saucepan over medium-highest. Add onions, garlic, carrots and ginger Cook until onions are translucent; about 10 minutes. Add stock and water, cover, and cook until carrots are soft; about 30 minutes. Turnoff heat and allow to cool slightly. Blend in batches, adding protein powder, until completely smooth. Whisk miso with 1/2 cup warm soup; then add back to rest of songs and mix well. When serving, if desired, drizzle with sesame oil.
