Cream of Carrot Soup

Chop carrots into 1/4th inch coins. Place in steamer basket, and steam for about 10 to 12 minutes or until tender. To enhance the flavor, you can add a bay leaf to the steaming water. Once the carrots are tender, place in your blender. Add beans and vegetable stock. Turn blender on low, and let blend on that speed for 1 minute. Turn blender up to medium and let blend on that speed for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the soup looks smooth. Add sour cream, salt, pepper and ground ginger. Pulse until it is fully incorporated.

Serve immediately.
