Winter Warmer: Carrot Ginger Soup With Maple Yogurt
It's sweet, it's savory and it's pretty much always in season. Grab that bottle of pure maple syrup — whether it's light or dark, it's all good — and crack open chef, blogger and photographer Katie Webster's all-maple, all-the-time cookbook.
This soup is my personal health elixir. Anytime I feel the least bit under the weather, I turn to bowls of this gingery liquid, drizzled with creamy maple yogurt.

- Puree mixture with an immersion blender, or transfer in batches to a blender and puree. Stir in vinegar and syrup.
