Ingredients for Carrot Ginger Soup

• Onion. Sweet onions will complement the carrots nicely.
• Garlic Cloves. Real, fresh garlic is a game-changer in soup.
• Carrots. You will need about two pounds.
• Freshly Grated Ginger. The flavor of freshly grated is incomparable.
• Soy Sauce. Or Tamari (gluten-free soy sauce) - For Passover, just add a little more salt to the recipe.
• Water or Vegetable Broth. To form the base of the soup.
• Full Fat Coconut Milk. Not to be confused with a coconut beverage.
• Extra Liquid. Unsweetened plain non-dairy milk, water, or vegetable broth as needed

How to Make Carrot Ginger Soup

Our recipe for carrot ginger soup is made entirely on the stovetop. The whole process is 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 simmer it all 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.

Delicious Toppings for Garnish

Tips for Amazing Carrot Soup with Ginger

If you use vegetable broth, you may have to adjust the amount of salt to taste.

When your soup is finished cooking, if it is too thick, add more water or vegetable broth before you remove it from the heat to loosen it up to the right consistency.

Because this soup is pureed, you cannot undercook the carrots, or your soup will be gritty. To get the soup done faster, you can cut the carrots smaller, saute the carrots for a few minutes before adding other ingredients, or use a pressure cooker.
