Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
2 scallions, sliced (white and green parts separated)
2 tablespoons chopped peeled fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic, smashed
5 carrots, chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 14-ounce can light coconut milk
1 15-ounce can cannellini beans, undrained
1/2 acorn squash, seeded and chopped into 3/4-inch pieces
3 cups roughly chopped broccoli florets and tender stems (about 1 head)
2 slices crusty bread, cut into 1-inch pieces, plus more bread for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large wide pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the scallion whites, ginger and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in the carrots and season generously with salt and pepper. Add the coconut milk, beans with their liquid and 3 cups water. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Uncover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are very tender, 18 to 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, toss the squash, broccoli and bread with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast, stirring, until the vegetables are tender and browned and the bread is toasted, about 15 minutes.
  • Puree the soup with an immersion blender (or transfer to a regular blender in batches and puree); season with salt and pepper. Divide the soup among bowls. Drizzle with olive oil and top with the vegetable-crouton mixture and scallion greens. Serve with bread.

This light, flavorful carrot ginger soup is vegan! It's made with pantry staples and comes together in a hurry, yet always seems to impress. Fresh ginger makes a big difference-and what isn't used can be wrapped tightly and tossed in the freezer to use later. -Jenna Olson, Manchester, Missouri

CARIBBEAN CARROT-GINGER SOUP



Caribbean Carrot-Ginger Soup image

I developed this recipe while in the Dominican Republic. Living in a small, rural beach town, I had to be resourceful with ingredients that were available and affordable. Carrots grow like crazy there, so this was an easy, delicious recipe that I used to make for my friends during the rainy season. It's the first recipe I really ever developed myself, and I still love it. Garnish as desired with microgreens, chopped chives, toasted sliced almonds, or chia seeds.

EASY ROASTED CARROT GINGER SOUP WITH GREEK YOGURT AND CROUTONS



Easy Roasted Carrot Ginger Soup With Greek Yogurt and Croutons image

I make variations of this soup whenever I don't feel like doing a whole lot of work. It's warm and satisfying on a cold day, and is pretty good for you, too! It's one of those recipes that's very easy to play around with - roast whatever extra veggies you have around the house, make up new garnishes... Another version I enjoy is using shrimp stock and putting a few sauteed shrimp in each bowl. The recipe could easily be doubled for a larger group of people, but I find that these measurements work very well for a dinner for 2. For a vegan version, simply substitute tofu sour cream for the greek yogurt.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 55m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

3/4 lb carrot, diced
1 red pepper, diced
4 garlic cloves, halved
2 shallots, sliced thick
4 tablespoons olive oil
coarse salt, to taste
fresh cracked pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated
1 1/2 cups vegetable stock (or whatever stock you like, sometimes I'll use shrimp stock and garnish the soup with sauteed shrimp)
1 dash soy sauce
1 dash hot sauce (optional, I like Louisiana Hot Sauce or Aardvark sauce)
1/4 cup Greek yogurt (or tofu sour cream, for vegans)
1 cup crouton (can be store-bought, or make your own)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Dice the pepper and the carrots and halve the garlic cloves. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread on a baking sheet in a single layer.
  • Roast the veggies for 40 minutes, or until they start to get brown and caramelize. Stir once or twice during roasting.
  • Put grated ginger, stock, and a glug or two of soy sauce into the food processor. Add some hot sauce if you like it spicy.
  • Put all the roasted veggies into the food processor and puree until smooth.
  • At this point the soup will have cooled down a bit, so you can either pop it in the microwave or put it in a pot on the stove for a few minutes to warm it up.
  • Serve with a dollop of greek yogurt on top and lots of crunchy croutons!

Tips:

  • Spices and Herbs: Experiment with different spices like cumin, coriander, or thyme for added depth.
  • Coconut Milk: Use full-fat coconut milk for a creamier soup, or adjust the amount for a lighter version.
  • Garnishes: Enhance the presentation by garnishing with fresh cilantro, green onions, or a drizzle of chili oil.
