Spicy Carrot Soup

Fresh carrot flavor with cayenne and ginger kick…

This spicy carrot soup is surprisingly simple to pull together for all the flavor it delivers. It has that fresh garden taste mixed with a touch of exotic ginger, a punch of cayenne heat, and a twist of orange juice tang. We prefer powdered ginger to fresh here as ginger in its powdered form is much more pungent. If fresh cayenne pepper is not available, swap in crushed red pepper as the primary heat source.
