# Expert tips:

01 -
  • The way ginger warms you from the inside out without being aggressive
  • How something this velvety comes together with almost zero effort
  • That perfect balance where the natural sweetness of carrots shines through
02 -
  • Hot soup expands dramatically in a blender, so either let it cool slightly or leave the vent open
  • The soup tastes better the next day as the flavors have time to really know each other
03 -
  • Grate the ginger on the finest side of your box grater so it virtually disappears into the soup
  • Taste your carrots before cooking, sweeter carrots need less help balancing the flavors
