Carrot- Ginger Soup from Boma's

[The Disney Bunch]

Can anyone tell me how I can find out the recipe for the Carrot-Ginger Soup at Boma's? My husband and father loved it and I thought I might try to make it for Christmas. Thanks for any help!

I recently ate at Boma's & requested this recipe . My husband & I both like this soup & he is NOT a carrot fan. Here it is:

GINGER CARROT SOUP from Boma, AKL
Yield: 8 servings

1 lb Carrots, chunky cut
2 c Water
2 c Heavy Cream
1 c Milk
2 oz American Cheese, sliced or shredded
½ oz Ground Ginger (fresh ONLY)
2 oz Sugar, adjust as needed

Roux:
2 oz butter
2 oz flour

In pot cook carrots in water, sugar, and ginger. Let simmer until carrots are soft. Using a beurre mixer, puree until smooth.

To make a roux, melt the butter in a small sauce pot, slowly add the flour to make a paste. Cook until incorporated. Remove from heat and set aside.

Add heavy cream and roux. Cook until soup is hot and slightly thick.

Add American cheese and let simmer until cheese melts.

Adjust seasoning.

I finally got around to making this about a month ago, but I didn't go out & get fresh ginger. We have a specialty store nearby that carries freshly ground spices. They're much better than the stuff you buy at the grocery. It was still really good with the ground ginger.

Also, I never use heavy cream due to weight & health issues. I just used whole milk for the cream & 2% for the milk. I also skipped the butter part of the roux. I just used Wondra flour & whisked it straight into the soup.

It was still wonderful - even with the modifications.

Piratesmate, thanks for sharing your recipe modifications. I appreciate it.

Thank you so much! I can't wait to try it - the modifications are very welcome since my dh has to watch what he eats!

Nothing to add, just wanted to say that DH and I both had this at Boma's when we stayed at AKL and we loved it!!!
