Recipe From Boma At Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge
Carrot Ginger Soup
Boma restaurant at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge is one of the Disney buffets we’ve visit nearly every trip to Disney World. One of the reasons kept going back was for their carrot ginger soup.
On one particular visit, I was very disappointed when they did not have the Carrot Ginger Soup on the menu. The Cast Member told me that they alternate that soup with the butternut squash soup. That is also a very delicious but not when I had been craving for months.
Not long after, the cast member brought me a bowl of carrot ginger soup to my table. She told the chef how much I loved it so he made me a fresh bow. Now that was a magical moment! It just goes to show what makes Disney so special.
This is a very rich and creamy soup. The fresh carrots give it a hint of sweetness that is wonderful for spring. It’s one of the items we serve each year for our family Easter Brunch.
