High in antioxidants, ginger offers big health benefits. Dr. Oz says that ginger can increase your metabolism by about 20 percent for three hours! This is namely because of ginger's gingerools and capsaicin, two compounds known to boost metabolic rates.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup chopped sweet onion
  • Kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons minced peeled ginger
  • 2 pounds carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 1 medium russet potato, peeled and chopped
  • 6 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable stock
  • 1/4 cup pine nuts
  • 1 1/3 cups plain low-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme
  • Freshly ground pepper

Instructions

  1. Combine the olive oil and onion in a Dutch oven or heavy pot over medium-high heat. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring, 10 minutes, until just starting to caramelize.
  2. Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, 2 more minutes, being careful not to burn the mixture. Stir in the carrots, potato, and the chicken or vegetable stock. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook until the carrots and potato are very tender, about 20 to 25 minutes. Keep warm.
  3. Meanwhile, in a small sauté pan over high heat, lightly toast the pine nuts. Set aside to cool.
  4. In a small bowl, combine the yogurt, honey, thyme, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
