Why trust us?

This roasted carrot ginger soup has a knockout flavour with Thai red curry paste, lemongrass and kaffir lime leaves. Roasting the carrots helps soften them and makes them sweeter and denser, leading to a creamier soup. We’ve blended in some of our neutral whey protein powder which makes the soup more filling and gives it a creamier mouthfeel.
