Vegan Carrot Ginger Puree
This is a very simple vegan recipe, perfect for an occasion where you might need to accommodate vegan guests, but still impress those with more traditional eating habits. The ingredients are typically on hand in any kitchen (maybe not the ginger) and it can be whipped up in a pinch.
The simple ingredients make this soup something anyone can enjoy and also has other uses as a marinade or in other recipes, like meatloaf or as a glaze for pork and chicken dishes.
