The addition of fresh ginger accentuates the sweetness of the carrots while the dollop of the sour cream-milk mixtures gives each spoonful a luxurious mouthfeel. This soup is just as good made a day ahead and refrigerated. The longer the soup sits, the stronger the flavor becomes. Cut the carrots and onion into the same size chunks so they’ll cook evenly. We’ve garnished the finished dish with chopped chives but chopped fresh cilantro or parsley would taste good too. Serve this as a side dish with your favorite main dish, sandwich or salad or as a snack to get in an extra vegetable serving for the day.
