INGREDIENTS (for 3 servings):
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 cup diced carrots
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger root
- 1/4 cup cubed potatoes
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 2 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill

PREPARATION:
Melt butter in a small saucepan. Sweat the carrots, onion and ginger with the butter. Add potatoes and broth, then bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer until potatoes are tender.
