How to make carrot ginger soup
Our recipe for carrot ginger soup is made entirely on the stovetop. It's really 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 to develop some flavor for this soup, before seasoning the base with a tablespoon 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 it 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.
Vicky & Ruth says
Thank you so much! We really appreciate your feedback!
Beverley says
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.
Sarah says
Surprisingly easy, really delicious. Happy to add this one to the cold weather recipe rotation.

Deborah says
Not really sure what happened, but I halved it and it burned all the food to the bottom of my Dutch oven! Any advice?
Vicky and Ruth says
So sorry, you burnt your soup. When initially cooking the garlic, ginger and carrots you may add some water or broth to prevent them from sticking and burning. We would also recommend lowering the cooking temperature since cast iron is a really good heat conductor.
Jennifer Toomajian says
Love this creamy soup -used Roasted Carrots for an added robust flavor and no Soy Sauce! Enjoyed it during my Whole30 month long diet! Totally recommend!

Just made this beautiful soup to give out for Shalach Manos on Purim... I added a little baharat spice to give it a Middle Eastern touch. Giving Trader Joe's Plantain Croutons on the side- they are delicious in soup and stay very crispy!! Great Recipe!!
