Description
This velvety carrot ginger soup is comforting, nourishing, and packed with flavor. Made with fresh carrots, ginger, garlic, and a creamy finish from coconut milk or cream, it’s the perfect feel-good meal for any day of the week.
Ingredients
5 large carrots, peeled and chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1-inch fresh ginger, grated
4 cups vegetable broth
1 cup coconut milk or heavy cream
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional: Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
-
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for 5 minutes until soft.
-
Add garlic and grated ginger. Cook for another minute until fragrant.
-
Stir in chopped carrots and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer covered for 20 minutes, until carrots are fork-tender.
-
Blend the soup using an immersion blender or in batches using a regular blender until smooth.
-
Return to the pot and stir in coconut milk or cream. Heat gently and season with salt and pepper.
-
Serve hot with garnish of your choice.
Notes
- For a thicker soup, reduce broth slightly. For a thinner soup, add more broth after blending.
- You can use ground ginger if fresh isn’t available — start with 1/2 tsp.
- Coconut milk gives a slightly sweet, tropical finish. Use heavy cream for a richer, more neutral flavor.
