Description
A warm and comforting soup featuring the sweet flavors of carrots and the zing of fresh ginger, perfect for chilly days.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups fresh carrots, sliced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
- 1 cup cream or coconut milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh thyme or cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onions and minced garlic, stirring until they become soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in sliced carrots and grated ginger. Let them cook for another 5-7 minutes until the carrots begin to soften.
- Add your broth of choice, bringing the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 20 minutes, until the carrots are tender.
- Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. If using a traditional blender, allow the soup to cool slightly before blending in batches.
- Stir in the cream or coconut milk, mixing well to combine. Simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs or a swirl of cream.
Notes
For a lighter version, use Greek yogurt instead of cream. Add a splash of apple cider vinegar or a pinch of nutmeg for more depth.
