Instructions

Wash and dry the fresh produce. (Skip the spinach if it came pre-washed.)

Peel and roughly chop the carrots and potatoes.

Preheat a large pot over medium-high heat.

Peel and mince shallot; add to a large salad bowl.

Once the pot is hot, add butter and swirl to coat the bottom.

Combine the chopped carrots and potatoes, honey, and salt in the pot.

Peel and mince or grate ginger; add to the pot. Reduce to medium heat, cover, and stew for 10 minutes; stirring occasionally.

Add broth to the pot, bring to a boil; cover and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 12 minutes.

In the salad bowl, whisk together olive oil, vinegar, honey, sesame seeds, salt, and pepper.

Using an immersion (hand) blender, purée the soup until smooth.

Measure out cranberries and almonds.

Shave the parsley leaves off the stems; discard the stems and mince the leaves.

Add the spinach to the bowl with the dressing. Add ¾ of the parsley, the cranberries, and almonds; toss to combine.

To serve, pour soup into a bowl, garnish with remaining parsley and arrange salad on the side. Enjoy!
