carrot soup

We like this soup a lot and I want to remember the recipe

CARROT SOUP

• 1 teaspoon oil
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 stalk celery, chopped
• 1/2 jalapeno, chopped
• 2 pounds carrots, cut into medium dice
• 2 teaspoons ground ginger (I use fresh)
• 1/2 head fennel and fronds, chopped OR 1/2 tsp fennell seed (better with real fennel though)
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• salt and pepper to taste

1. Saute onion, garlic, celery, jalapeno, and fennel in the bottom of a soup pot
2. Add in carrots, ginger, and vegetable broth, boil until carrots are tender
3. Puree soup, add in salt and pepper to taste, sometimes I also add in a tiny bit of cinnamon
