FAQ
What is in this soup?
The base is carrots, kefir, and fresh ginger with seasonings; it’s served well chilled as a light starter.

How long does it keep in the fridge?
Store it covered in the refrigerator for 2–3 days; texture may thicken or separate slightly.
Can I adjust the tanginess or sweetness?
Add a splash of lemon juice for more tang or a touch of honey or maple for sweetness; more ginger for extra warmth.
What substitutions work well?
Swap carrots for other root vegetables, use non-dairy kefir or yogurt, and tweak spices to taste.
