Carrot Ginger soup

Very Good soup and good for the eyes too.

2# Carrots, peeled and sliced
1 small yellow onion, diced
1/4t dried thyme
1T Marjorum dried
1t salt, more if needed
2 small ginger roots, peeled and minced
8-12 oz carrot juice (I just buy this)
4 14oz can chicken broth or stock, low salt and/or fat free.
1 lime, juiced
1/2c half and half

In a large pot add 1T olive oil and saute onions and carrots until they start to sweat and soften, then add spices. Saute another 1-3 minutes. Then add ginger and saute another minute. Add broth juice and cook for about 30 minutes.add the lime juice. Place in blender or if you have a hand held blender use it to puree soup. If you use a blender be sure to do small batches of the soup with care be sure the top is on hot liquids in the blender tend to explode. Then back in the pot, add the half and half and mix. Serve. I like a fresh piece of thyme on top for garnish or some sour cream drizzled across the top. You can use fat free 1/2 and 1/2 if you want to cut some calories and then this is really a low fat soup.
