Crazy Carrot Soup

I opened the fridge and the 5 pound bag of carrots needed attention.The 5 pound bag of potatoes  on the counter did too. So first I pressure cooked the carrots (whole with ends trimmed off) in water with a 3 inch piece of ginger root for 15 minutes. I let that sit while I started the next project. The carrots and ginger broth had too cool off anyway so I could puree it in the blender.

Then I cubed the potatoes after taking off the sprouting spots and made a vinaigrette and pressure cooked that for 4 minutes. Then I combined the carrot puree and potato salad and ladled it into bowls and topped it with fresh cilantro. Divine!
