More Soup for Me

I knew I had one more hurdle in front of me this weekend - a family birthday celebration. And I knew the celebration would happen with pizza. So I tried to keep things in moderation the rest of today. For lunch I made a simple soup. I softened some onions and garlic in about a tablespoon of olive oil. Then I added 4 cups of vegetable broth, a pound of sliced carrots, about 2 Tbsp of sliced fresh ginger and a 1/2 cup of fresh pineapple. I cooked the soup until the carrots and ginger were tender then I used an immersion blender on it until it was smooth. I mixed in 4 Tbsp of half and half, and nutmeg, cinnamon, curry powder, salt and pepper to taste. Lastly I added some Splenda (again to taste) for a little sweetness. I garnished the soup with a few sliced almonds. It hit the spot.
