Carrot, Apple and Ginger Soup with Cheese Crisps

This soup shows off a gorgeous orange color and warm ginger bite on the finish. A simple cheese cracker is the ideal counterpart to the heat of the ginger. Using an immersion blender is a great way to process soups and sauces without removing them from the stove, but you can certainly use a traditional blender as well.

Transfer to a large saucepan and cover with broth and 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.


Stir in ginger and cook for 8 to 10 minutes longer. Remove from heat and cool slightly.


Blend until smooth, using a blender or an immersion blender. Season to taste with salt and pepper.


Meanwhile, make the cheese crisps. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F.


Combine cheese, flour, chives, parsley and pepper in a small bowl.


Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.


Spoon cheese mixture onto parchment in 3-inch long ovals.
