Protecting my eyes: Lemon Ginger Carrot Soup

So tired from work, and my Dad asked about my eyes every time I called him. Yeah, I am afraid too. Honestly, my only memory about ginger carrot soup is from the sample in trader joe's. It was fine. This time, I followed the recipe from epicurious; the other day, when I cooked for my guests, I made a lemon ginger dressing noodle, which turned out every good, so I kinda like the combination of Lemon and Ginger.

This version of carrot soup is very very delicious and refreshing. I think the secret is it doesn't only have carrot and ginger, besides onion and garlic, ginger, it has tomato in it , which brings in sweet. And the highlight is lemon zest. Actually after I added lemon zest to hot soup, I was a little disappointed. But after it got cold, I squeezed in some lemon juice(from recipe) it was fantastic, very refresh!!
So my suggestion is no lemon if serve warm , lemon if serve cold.

And the garnish is also very unexpected. I really don't know what is usually used to garnish carrot ginger soup, and I only have basil leaves, so I just picked up some. But again, it goes great with cold soup~~~

Sadly, sK doesn't like carrot ginger soup. I love basil, so I love basil in any form. But he likes carrots very much, why doesn't he like carrot ginger soup? But it's OK, when it gets really cold, I know he loves my chicken noodel soup ; p
