Ingredients:
- 1 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 cups chopped carrots
- ¼ cup chopped onion
- 1 cup chicken broth or water
- ¼ cup canned navy beans, rinsed
- ½ tsp grated peeled fresh ginger
- 1 tbsp cream
- 1 scoop unflavored protein powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Directions:
Heat the olive oil in a small pot over medium heat. Add the carrots and onion and cook until the onion softens, about 3 minutes.
Add the chicken broth (or water), navy beans, and grated ginger. Cover and simmer until the carrots are tender, about 5 minutes.
Transfer the mixture to a blender. Add the cream and protein powder, then season with salt and pepper.
Blend until completely smooth. Serve warm, or chill before serving if preferred.
