This is a good choice for a hot summer day. Garnish with orange slices,

grated carrot and chopped fresh mint. Add more ginger if you like a

spicier soup.

 

In a large saucepan, melt butter on medium-high heat and sauté ginger,

carrots and leeks for about 5 minutes, until leeks are soft. Place sautéed

vegetables in the slow cooker with 2 cups of the vegetable broth. Cover

and cook on high heat for 2 to 5 hours or until carrots are tender.

 

Transfer to a blender container and purée until smooth. Return puréed

mixture to slow cooker and stir in orange juice, salt and white

pepper. Add remaining vegetable broth if you prefer a thinner soup. Taste

and adjust seasonings. Serve chilled.
