Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.

Reduce heat to low, cover the pot, and let the mixture simmer for 15-20 minutes until the carrots are tender.
Use an immersion blender (or transfer carefully to a countertop blender) to puree the soup until smooth.
