I started my morning by juicing some carrots! Yum! I don’t do it often cuz we all know it’s a lot of work! But as an occasional treat, it’s worth it. I juiced a 5 lb bag from Sprouts. I got 6 servings of carrot juice.

 

 

And had about 8 cups of carrot pulp. I decided it’s time to share a recipe using all the pulp!

 

Pumpkin Ginger Soup

This easy blended soup doesn’t have too many ingredients and isn’t very involved (depending on how you get your carrot shreds/pulp). It can be as easy as purchasing shredded carrots.

I juiced one day and the next I made my soup.

Add onions, garlic, ginger.

Add carrots and sea salt.

Add pumpkin, veggie broth, coconut milk, nutmeg and white pepper. Simmer. Blend. Done!
