Ingredients

  • pounds carrots trimmed sliced (15 to 18 medium carrots)
  • piece ginger fresh peeled chopped
  • clove garlic minced
  • 0.5 cup heavy cream 
  •  juice of lime 
  • tablespoons olive oil 
  •  onion chopped
  • servings salt and pepper 
  • cups vegetable broth low-sodium

Equipment

  • sauce pan
  • ladle

Directions

  1. Warm oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat.
  2. Add onion and cook, stirring often, until softened but not browned, 3 to 5 minutes.
  3. Add garlic and ginger and saut 1 minute longer.
  4. Add carrots, pour in broth and season with a pinch of salt. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and cook, partially covered, stirring occasionally, until carrots are very tender, 25 to 30 minutes.
