Anacortes Carrot Ginger Soup Recipe

Heat olive oil in a soup pot over medium heat. Add onions, garlic, ginger, and pasilla pepper. Sauté for about 3 to 5 minutes, or until translucent and fragrant.

Add carrots and sweet potatoes and cover in vegetable stock. Add paprika and red pepper flakes to desired heat. Bring to a boil, cover, and lower heat to a simmer. Cook covered for 35 to 40 minutes.

Using an immersion blender, blend soup until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Garnish with pepitas and serve.
