Instructions
Sauté Vegetables
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, cooking until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
Pro tip: Stir frequently to prevent the garlic from burning.
Add Carrots and Ginger
Add the sliced carrots and grated ginger to the pot. Stir well to combine with the onion and garlic.
Pro tip: Grate the ginger finely for a more even distribution of flavour.
Simmer with Broth
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 20 minutes or until the carrots are tender.
Pro tip: Check the carrots with a fork; they should be soft enough to mash easily.
Blend the Soup
Remove the pot from heat. Using an immersion blender, purée the soup until smooth.
Pro tip: For a smoother texture, blend in batches in a countertop blender.
Season to Taste
Return the blended soup to low heat. Stir in salt, pepper, and heavy cream if using. Adjust seasoning as needed.
Pro tip: Taste the soup and adjust the ginger if you want a stronger flavour.
Serve
Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot. Garnish with fresh herbs or a drizzle of cream if desired.
Pro tip: Fresh cilantro or parsley can add a nice touch of colour and freshness.
Tips & Tricks
- To enhance the flavours, roast the carrots before adding them to the soup.
- Use fresh ginger for the best flavour profile.
- Blend the soup until completely smooth for a creamy texture.
- Adjust the thickness by adding more or less broth as desired.
