Chino Carrot and Ginger Soup
This recipe is courtesy of celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck.
It calls for orange, yellow and white carrots. We were unable to find yellow and
white carrots at our local store, however you may be able to find them at stores
like Trader Joe's and Whole Foods. We made this soup using all orange carrots
and enjoyed it. We have read that "snowy white" carrots have a smoother
flavor than orange carrots which may affect the taste of the soup. We still considered
it a winner and we especially loved the deep fried ginger.
