My Favorite Carrot Soup image

This really is "my favorite carrot soup"! The fresh ginger is the key ingredient. I came across this recipe a few years ago in a magazine article about holiday family favorites and have been making it ever since. This soup is a snap to make and freezes beautifully! This soup is amazing!

Time 45m

Yield 9 cups, 9-18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 cups chopped onions
2 garlic cloves, pressed
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 lbs carrots, peeled and chunked
2 medium potatoes, peeled and chunked
5 cups vegetable broth or 5 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup orange juice
3 tablespoons peanut butter
toasted pumpkin seeds (optional) or chopped cilantro, garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large soup pot over medium heat.
  • Saute onions with ginger, cumin, and cayenne until onions are soft, 7 to 10 minutes. Add the garlic when you think there is about 45 secs to 1 minute left to achieve the soft onions [Do not let the garlic burn].
  • Add salt, carrots, potatoes, and broth and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat to low. Simmer until vegetables are tender, about 25 minutes.
  • Add the peanut butter.
  • Puree the soup. This is most easily done with a hand-blender right in the pot.
  • Stir in orange juice.
  • Ladle in bowls and garnish if desired.
  • This soup freezes very well in tupperware. I'm sure it will freeze well for many months, however I don't know for sure because mine has never stayed frozen for longer than a month due to being eaten!

This soup is so versatile. I've added different vegetables, herbs, and spices each time I make it.

I'm not a fan of ginger, so I omitted it from the recipe. The soup was still delicious.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover carrots. It's also very budget-friendly.

I'm allergic to carrots, so I substituted sweet potatoes instead. The soup was still delicious and creamy.

I followed the recipe exactly and my soup turned out watery and tasteless. Very disappointed.

This soup was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it could use some more spices or herbs.

I've tried many carrot soup recipes, but this one is by far the best. The addition of cumin and coriander gives it a unique and flavorful twist. Highly recommend!
