Method

Simmer carrot, ginger, and 1½ cups water in a 1-qt. saucepan over medium-high until carrot is tender, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer carrot and ginger to a blender along with ¾ cup cooking liquid; let cool slightly. Add yogurt, half-and-half, lime juice, peaches, and salt, and purée until smooth. Chill for 1 hour before serving. Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with almonds.<
