This was the first time I have ever taken a long weekend in January. If you know me, you know I love me some plane tickets, and I am never one to turn down a trip… especially a beach trip! But I struggled a bit and thought, is it ok for me to take a vacation so close after the holidays? Did I earn this trip? And the truth is, YES! I did! Do you ever play these games with yourself? Wondering is it ok for you to do or have what you want? How good are you willing to let YOUR life get? How happy, satisfied, fit, how much FUN are you willing to have in your life?? I’d love to hear from you, so please email me at tracy@tracycampoli.com, or post on my facebook wall. So, now I am back in NYC and…it’s freezing! So today I want to share with you a DELICIOUS and HEALTHY soup I made today, to warm up and feel awesome! Tracy’s Roasted Carrot and Ginger soup Jamaican Style Mon! 1 1lb bag of baby carrots On a rimmed baking sheet, toss the carrots with 1 and 1/2 tablespoons of the olive oil (or coconut) and sprinkle generously with sea salt. Set an oven rack 6 to 8 inches from the heat source and turn on the broiler. Broil the carrots until they brown and soften, turning them over with a spatula every 5 minutes or so; this should take 15 to 20 minutes. Meanwhile, bring the stock to a boil, add the ginger and the pinch of Jamaican allspice and simmer gently for 15 minutes. Put the onion in a medium stock pot with the remaining olive oil or coconut oil.. Brown the onion over medium heat, stirring frequently. Add the garlic, and then add the carrots. Remove the ginger from the stock and add the carrot mixture to the stockpot. Bring to boil and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, until the carrots are soft enough to puree. Use an immersion or a standard blender to puree the mixture until smooth. If the soup seems too thick, add more stock or water and reheat gently. Add salt and pepper to taste. To serve, garnish with chopped fresh parsley or if you forgot to buy parsley like me…draw a heart in the soup with your spoon. Enjoy and stay warm!!!!!
