Roasted carrot & sweet potato soup with ginger

I have tried to make carrot soup before but it never tasted as heart-warming as this one. Originally taken from BBCgoodfood website, I modified it a little bit.

I feel like the roasting process with the added ginger and sweet smoked paprika powder gives it a very nice touch but obviously they can just be left out.

After blending the ingredients together, the mix looked really thick and colourful like this.

I imagine all the home cooks out there all have their own carrot soup recipes but my mother never made any puree soups and I discovered a love for them later in my adulthood so this is just the beginning for me, and a very good one, taste wise.

I hope you will enjoy it as much as me.
