Steps:
- Put a large pot over medium heat and add the olive oil.
- Throw the carrots, onions and garlic into the pot and let them cook a bit, just until the onions start to become a little soft.
- Grate some ginger over the pot as the vegetables are heating up and stir that in too.
- Once the mixture starts to become fragrant (you'll smell that ginger as it heats up), add a few pinches of salt and pepper and pour in enough stock to almost cover the vegetables (should be between 4 and 5 cups of stock).
- Let this cook over medium-low heat until you can poke a fork in one of the carrot pieces and it falls apart.
- Remove it from the heat and puree while it's hot. This will help give you a nice smooth texture. Using an immersion blender is the easiest method, as you can leave the soup in the pot. If you'd rather use a regular blender you'll probably have to puree in batches.
- Once the soup is pureed and you can't see any more chunks, add the can of coconut milk (or milk/cream of your choice).
- Using the immersion blender again, blend the coconut milk into the soup. Using the blender again at this stage helps the texture to become very velvety. Add more salt and pepper, to your taste.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and serve with a dollop of sour cream, Greek yogurt, coconut yogurt or a swirl of cream (or coconut cream), and a sprinkle of chopped parsley (if you wish).

CARROT GINGER SOUP
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

- Preheat oven to 375°F. In a 3-quart baking dish (such as a 9-by-13-inch), toss carrots, sweet potato, tomatoes, and ginger with cup oil. Season with salt and pepper. Roast until liquid has evaporated and vegetables have caramelized slightly, about 1 hour.
- In a medium saucepan, heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil over medium. Add onion and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly golden, 6 to 7 minutes. Add roasted vegetables with any accumulated juices and 3 cups water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 10 minutes.
- Transfer to a blender and let stand until no longer steaming, about 5 minutes. Add butter and blend until completely smooth.

Tips:
- Choose the right carrots: Look for fresh, firm carrots with a deep orange color. Avoid carrots that are wilted, bruised, or have brown spots.
- Peel and chop the carrots evenly: This will help them cook evenly and prevent some pieces from becoming mushy while others are still hard.
- Don't overcrowd the pot: If you're using a small pot, cook the carrots in batches. Overcrowding the pot will prevent the carrots from cooking evenly and may make the soup watery.
- Simmer the soup gently: Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the carrots are tender. This will help develop the flavor of the soup without overcooking the carrots.
- Season to taste: Taste the soup and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, ginger, or nutmeg.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: Before serving, garnish the soup with fresh herbs such as parsley, cilantro, or chives. This will add a pop of color and flavor to the soup.
Conclusion:
Cream of carrot soup is a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make soup that's perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover carrots. With its creamy texture, sweet flavor, and subtle hint of ginger, this soup is sure to be a hit with the whole family. So next time you're looking for a simple but satisfying soup recipe, give this cream of carrot soup a try.
