Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 cups baby carrots or approx. 6 large or 12 small-medium carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces (about 1-1/2 pounds of carrots)
2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
1 medium yellow onion (diced (about 2 cups)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt + more to taste
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper + more to taste
1 thumb-sized piece of fresh ginger (peeled and minced (about 2 tablespoons)
4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream (or, for a vegan version, use full-fat canned coconut milk)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Place carrots in a large bowl and drizzle one tablespoon of the olive oil over the top. Toss to coat and add 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Toss again. Spread in a single layer on a rimmed cookie sheet and bake, stirring/flipping every 15 minutes or so, until tender and browned in spots, about 40 minutes total. Remove from oven and let cool a bit.
  • While the carrots are cooking, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a large soup pot over medium-low heat. Add the onions and cook until just beginning to brown, about 8 - 10 minutes. Add the ginger and the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and let simmer for five minutes until ginger is tender. Remove from heat.
  • When both the roasted carrots and the broth have cooled somewhat, add the carrots to the broth. Working with a blender in batches, puree the soup and return it to the pot; or use an immersion blender directly in the pot. Please make sure your soup has cooled enough to safely puree!
  • Place pureed soup over medium heat and return to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and stir in the heavy whipping cream or coconut milk. Taste and add additional salt and pepper if desired. Serve.

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (13.5-ounce) can coconut milk
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
3/4 teaspoon sea salt
2 teaspoons peeled, grated fresh ginger
2 teaspoons Thai yellow or red curry paste
1 clove garlic, peeled and chopped
12 ounces baby carrots, quartered lengthwise
2 3/4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth, plus more as needed
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice (from about 1 lime)
15 large cilantro sprigs plus 5 small cilantro sprigs
1/4 cup plus 1 teaspoon black or white chia seeds

Steps:

  • Heat 1/3 cup of the coconut milk in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and salt and cook while stirring until onion is softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the ginger, curry paste, and garlic and cook while stirring until well combined and fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Add the carrots, 2 3/4 cups of broth, the lime juice, the 15 large cilantro sprigs, and the remaining coconut milk and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, until the carrots are very tender, about 30 minutes. Remove the cilantro sprigs and puree soup in batches in a blender, using the hot fill line as a guide.
  • Transfer the pureed soup to a clean saucepan and place over low heat. Stir in 1/4 cup of the chia seeds and simmer uncovered until chia seeds are fully hydrated and soup reaches desired consistency, about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. (Note: If soup becomes thicker than you desire, stir in additional vegetable broth by the tablespoon to reach ideal consistency.) Taste and adjust seasonings, garnish with the remaining 1 teaspoon of chia seeds and small cilantro sprigs, and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots: Use fresh, organic carrots for the best flavor. Look for carrots that are firm and brightly colored.
  • Use a variety of spices: In addition to ginger, you can add other spices to your soup, such as cumin, coriander, or turmeric. Experiment to find the combination of spices that you like best.
  • Don't overcook the soup: Carrot soup should be cooked until the carrots are tender, but not mushy. Overcooking the soup will make it lose its flavor and color.
  • Garnish the soup before serving: A dollop of yogurt, a sprinkle of fresh herbs, or a drizzle of olive oil can add a touch of flavor and sophistication to your soup.

Conclusion:

Creamy carrot ginger soup is a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. With a few simple ingredients and a few minutes of your time, you can create a soup that is sure to please the whole family. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this creamy carrot ginger soup a try. You won't be disappointed!
