Spicy Ginger Carrot Soup

Soup, glorious soup! It’s one of the most heartwarming meals I especially love during the colder months. I also adore ginger. Carrot and ginger combined make for one of the most delicious soups, and both have several health benefits. The intensity from the ginger, heat from the Ethiopian spice mix berbere (easy to make at home, I linked a recipe below but you can get it in the store), and sweetness from the carrots make for a well-balanced, super tasty soup.
