Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • lbs carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 4 cups vegetable broth or chicken broth
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • ¼ cup coconut milk or cream (optional)
  • Fresh herbs or plain yogurt (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil or butter in a large pot over medium heat.
  2. Add onion and sauté for 5 minutes until softened.
  3. Stir in garlic and ginger, cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Add chopped carrots and sauté for 2–3 minutes.
  5. Pour in broth, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 20–25 minutes, or until carrots are tender.
  6. Remove from heat and blend the soup until smooth using an immersion blender or in batches in a regular blender.
  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in coconut milk or cream if desired for extra creaminess.

Notes

  • Add a pinch of curry powder or turmeric for a spiced twist.
  • Sweet potatoes or parsnips can be added for more depth of flavor.
  • Stir in red lentils during simmering for extra protein.
  • Use frozen carrots if needed—just adjust cook time slightly.
  • For thicker soup, reduce broth or simmer uncovered longer.
