Ingredients for Carrot Ginger Soup

Here’s everything you’ll need to make this Carrot Ginger Soup

• 6 large carrots, peeled and chopped
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated
• 3 tablespoons olive oil or butter
• 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
• 1–2 cloves garlic, minced optional
• Salt and pepper to taste
• ½ cup coconut milk or heavy cream optional for extra creaminess
• A squeeze of lemon juice optional

How to Make Carrot Ginger Soup

Step One

The first thing you need to do is prepare the vegetables. Start by peeling the carrots and cutting them into small pieces for easier cooking. Dice the onion. Carefully grate the ginger so your soup has that warm, spicy flavor without large chunks. If you’re using garlic, mince it finely.

Step Two

Now cook the vegetables. Heat your pot over medium heat and add olive oil or butter. Once hot, add the onion and cook until soft and translucent. Stir in the garlic and ginger, and let it all simmer for about a minute to release the flavors. Your kitchen will smell wonderful at this point!

Step Three

Next, add the carrots and stock. Place the chopped carrots in the pot and stir until they are coated with the flavorful oil. Pour in the stock and gently mix everything. Increase the heat until the soup begins to boil. Once it boils, reduce the heat and cover the pot. Simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the carrots are tender enough to pierce with a fork.

Step Four

Now, blend the soup. Turn off the heat. Now use an immersion blender directly into the pot to blend the soup until smooth. If using a regular blender, blend the soup carefully in batches. Be sure to leave some space in the blender for steam to escape. Blend until the soup is creamy and smooth.

Step Five

Then add the cream and flavoring. Stir in coconut milk or heavy cream if you prefer a richer soup. Add salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice for extra flavor. Taste the soup and adjust the seasonings to your liking. If it’s too thick, add more broth. If it’s too thin, simmer for a few more minutes.

Step Six

Serve warm. Ladle it into bowls, add a dollop of cream if desired, and enjoy!
