How to make carrot ginger soup
Our recipe for carrot ginger soup is easy and only uses a handful of simple ingredients to maintain the clean sweet taste of carrots. We sautéed onions, garlic, and fresh-grated ginger before seasoning the base with a small amount of soy sauce and salt and pepper to taste. Once the onions are translucent, we add large slices of carrots and cook until tender. We then add canned coconut milk and blend with a hand-blender resulting in a creamy, rich, satisfying soup.
We love this Carrot Ginger Soup for its thick consistency and ability to highlight any meal.

***** We had this in New Zealand at the Maori Museum and absolutely loved it. Had not been able to come close to the flavors [even with a recipe] until we found your recipe. Greater than the sum of its ingredients, it's a favorite at our house. Thank you for sharing this wonderful healthy soup.

Thank you, was delicious I made two small changes to it I added some chickpeas that I had cooked the night before and I didn’t want to waste them, also didn’t have canned coconut but used coconut milk powder instead.
