Take a break from decadent holiday fare and lighten up with a bowl Carrot Apple Ginger Soup that also helps clean out the crisper. Saute onion, ginger and garlic until soft, then add sliced apple and carrots. Deglaze with white wine, then simmer with vegetable broth. Puree, then season to taste and garnish with fresh apple and chives for a slightly sweet, slightly spiced guilt-free bowl. Get the recipe here.
