We could not get over how delicious and simple this soup was to make. No one in my family knew I had snuck in so many veggies and the lentils into this creamy creation. The ginger, garlic, apple and honey really set this one apart from the rest.

If you want to keep this dairy free, make sure you use olive oil instead of butter. To keep this Vegetarian, make sure you use olive oil and vegetable broth. If you don’t have sweet potatoes, you can sub in regular potatoes.

There is no cream in this creamy carrot soup. Make sure you use your hand immersion blender or you can transfer the soup in batches, to your food processor or blender to process. Just be careful that it has cooled slightly and the blender container has an opening to breathe out of since its so hot.
