Ingredients for Organic Carrot Soup with Ginger Essence

• 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil

• 240ml thinly sliced leeks (white part only)

• 1/2 large white onion, diced (about 130g )

• 1.1kg organic carrots, chopped

• 475ml vegetable stock

• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh lemongrass (or 2 teaspoons dried, tied in a piece of cheesecloth)

• 3 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger

• 240ml fresh carrot juice

• 120ml light soured cream, plus 4 teaspoons for garnish

• Coarsely ground black pepper

Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed large stockpot on high heat until hot. Cook leeks and onion 2 to 3 minutes. Add carrots and 2 tablespoons water. Cook, covered, 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add stock, lemongrass and 1 1/2 teaspoons ginger. Simmer about 30 minutes. Let mixture cool for 10 minutes, then pour into a food processor and purée. Add carrot juice and strain through a fine-mesh sieve. Discard pulp. (If not serving immediately, cool and refrigerate liquid.) Add soured cream and remaining 2 teaspoons ginger to strained liquid. Stir until completely incorporated. Heat 3 or 4 minutes over medium-low heat or serve cold. Season with pepper. Divide among 4 bowls. Garnish with chives and 1 teaspoon each soured cream.
