Spiced Carrot Ginger Soup

Author Notes: My secrets are orange juice, potato, black mustard seeds, and five spice powder. Trust me, this is not a boring soup! Lots of ginger helps to spice it up even more. If you are watching your weight, it's a great, healthful, flavorful soup that will fill you up with incredibly few calories. Like many soups, it is better the next day, so I recommend making it the day before you would like to serve it. If you prefer a thinner consistency, just add more good-quality vegetable broth. - clintonhillbilly

Oops, I totally forgot the vegetable broth! Sorry to anyone who made it and was wondering why it was so thick!

Awesome! I usually end up making this soup when I've bought a whole bag of carrots. They used to end up going bad because even if I put them in every salad, I couldn't get through a whole bag myself. But now I just make this soup. It freezes well, so sometimes I make a bunch of it and freeze it in individual containers, and then I have a bowl of soup ready to go anytime.
