Cheesy Carrot Potato Soup


We had loads of carrots by loads I mean Costco size bag of carrots. 
Yep. 
We had them frozen, so we had to peel the skin off (and if you freeze your carrots, they will look like they are browned, that is just like the banana when you freeze it. Just peel it). 
And then follow the directions.
This was so good that the kids and the hubby were going back for more.
With the ginger, add as little or as much as you want. 
With having family members sick, it was a great way to catch the vitamins needed (ginger, too) in the soup to give everyone.

Ingredients:
10 pounds carrots
7-8 cups water
1 1/2 large onions
2 large potatoes
1 tbsp chicken stock mix
1/2 tbsp sea salt
