Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger (peeled and minced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 5 large carrots (peeled and sliced into rounds)
- 4 cups vegetable broth (low-sodium)
- 0.5 cup unsweetened coconut milk
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or cilantro (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes, until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced ginger and garlic, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the sliced carrots to the pot and stir to coat with the aromatics.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the soup simmer for 20 minutes or until the carrots are tender when pierced with a fork.
Remove the pot from the heat and allow the soup to cool slightly.
Using an immersion blender (or a regular blender in batches), puree the soup until smooth and creamy.
Stir in the coconut milk, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your Easy Creamy Carrot Soup with Ginger!
