A Warm Autumn Soup and a Fun New Toy.

This Carrot-Ginger soup made a great Sunday lunch on a cool day, after raking the leaves. The carrots provide a subtle flavor and the ginger surprises you with its bite. And like most of the recipes I make, it was easy. Some chopped garlic and ginger, sliced carrot and chicken stock, and simmer. Then I got to use the new Cuisinart Cordless Immersion Blender I picked up at the Chef's Gallery in Stillwater, MN. I had longed for one of these each time I made soup, and now, well, it's just that much easier. No pouring hot liquid into a blender and no exploding blender when I turn it on.

And it makes wicked quick smoothies too!
