I traditionally always eat at least one carrot salad per week during summer. Fresh and soft, I love their taste. Besides, I can always bring a new twist to any of them. The reason why carrots are part of my weekly diet is that they are an excellent source of Vit A. Vit A is essential to keep a beautiful skin and protect your body from external threat like sunburns.
That’s why today, I wanted to hand out this excellent fresh carrot and ginger soup recipe. Because even if we can create many carrot salads, sometimes a little change is needed.
