When I came across this recipe for curried carrot and sweet potato ginger soup in a health magazine, I knew I had to try it.

My family craves Thai food occasionally, and there is a great restaurant here in Charleston called ‘Basil’ that we love to eat from time to time.  The first time I made this luscious soup, it reminded me of some of those Thai flavors infused into their main dishes.

Although the curry and ginger lend to the spicy kick and flavors in this soup, which I found to be too strong for some palates, I needed to make a small adjustment and decided to add in some lime juice to balance out some of the heat.
