Not only does the recipe contain enough beta-carotene to turn your hair the same shade as Noah’s, the healthy dose of fresh ginger gives it a lingering and delightful kick.

Ingredients
- Butter 1-1/2 Tbsp (25 g)
- Onion 1, chopped
- Garlic 3 cloves, chopped
- Ginger fresh, peeled and grated, 2 inch (4 cm) piece
- Carrots 5, peeled and diced
- Sweet Potato 1, medium, peeled and diced
- Dried apricots soft, 10-12, chopped
- Chicken bouillon 6 cups (1.5 liters)
- Salt & pepper
- Fresh cream toasted flaked almonds and chopped fresh parsley for decoration
Instructions
- Heat the butter in a saucepan and sauté the onions, garlic and ginger.
- Add the beta-carotene (carrots, sweet potato and dried apricots) and the chicken bouillon. Season and simmer for 30 minutes.
- Blend into a smooth soup using whatever you’ve got. If you have the time, it would be advisable to let the soup cool somewhat before blending but let’s be honest, I never have the time.
- Serve with as many of the decorative garnishments as you can muster.
Notes
Out of parsley and no time for toasting flaked almonds? No problem, substitute the “swirl of fresh cream” with a spoonful of sour cream (crème fraîche).
