Description
A warm and nutritious vegan soup made with carrots and ginger, perfect for winter.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1-inch piece of fresh ginger, grated
- 6 large carrots, peeled and chopped
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish (optional)
- Lemon juice for added zest (optional)
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the onion and sauté until it becomes soft, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
- Add the chopped carrots and vegetable broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the carrots are tender.
- Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. If you don’t have an immersion blender, you can transfer the soup to a regular blender in batches.
- Return the soup to the pot. Season with salt and pepper, and add a squeeze of lemon juice if desired.
- Heat through and serve hot.
Notes
For creaminess, add coconut milk; for spice, add cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes. Customize by adding sweet potatoes or bell peppers.
