Author Notes
I had carrots and yautia (a puertorricantuber) and decided to make a soup. As I was thinking how to make it, I decided to grate the carrot, since it doesn't usually pure well when you cook it in pieces. It worked really well. What spices would work well? I decided some freshly grated nutmeg and a little kick from freshly grated ginger. It really worked very well. I love this soup and will make it again. I am not a professional cook, just a retired chemistry teacher who loves to cook. —amgchem
