Late night supper - fresh carrot ginger soup made this evening, with green bean - garlic dip, made with broad beans picked from the garden by Piper Cub and Mrs Piper. Fresh baguette from the local patissierie for the dip - just tasted Fresh! ---

Shameless tease! You don’t just put that out there with no recipe or anything. Is the soup a puree? I have trouble with cooked carrots in lump form. Little bits are OK but large pieces skeeve me out. Celery, too. It’s a texture thing. The onions are the largest veg in my chicken soup base and they aren’t very big. ---

Sounds great! (And now I’m getting hungry. Wonder what’s in the fridge and pantry…) ---

Here you go, **Sodalite** : [Carrot-Ginger Soup](http://www.sweet-home.com/tag/best-ginger-carrot-soup/) [Fava Bean Dip with Goat Cheese and Garlic](http://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/fava_bean_dip_with_goat_cheese_and_garlic/) The soup recipe makes quite a bit, so I halved all the quantities for carrots and stock, but kept the ginger and other spices at the amounts in the recipe, since I like things spicy. ---

I was hoping for instructions on how to dip the soup into the green bean dip. Sigh. The quest continues. (But it’s a tasty quest, apparently!) ---
