| 1. In pot, mix together water, sugar and ground ginger until sugar dissolves. Add carrots and simmer until carrots are soft. | 2. Cool sightly, and then process in a blender or food processor until smooth. Return to pot. (I have tried using my immersion blender, but it doesn't seem to work as well as a food processor due to the texture of the carrots!). | 3. At this point, you can freeze this to finish later. If you want to make several batches at once, it freezes well. If you are making this from a frozen base, thaw the carrot puree and put in pot. | 4. Add half and half. Cook until soup is hot and slightly thick. In the meantime, make a slurry of the cornstarch and water. | 5. Bring to a boil, add cornstarch slurry, a little at a time while stirring constantly until the soup is the desired consistency. | 6. Remove from heat, add cheese and stir well until cheese melts. | 7. Add salt and pepper to taste, garnish with chives and ENJOY! | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
