Carrot ginger soup recipe ingredients
This delicious soup requires only uncomplicated ingredients that are easily found at your local supermarket or maybe even in your fridge. Here is what you will need to prepare this delicious recipe.
- Vegetables: carrots, ginger, onions, and garlic.
- Spices: I used a blend of spices such as ground cumin, ground coriander and garam masala.
- Coconut oil: We need oil to sauté onions, ginger, and garlic. You can substitute with extra virgin olive oil if you prefer, but I found that carrots work very well with coconut oil.
- Broth or stock: I used vegetable broth to make this soup vegan, but you can use chicken broth or chicken stock instead.

How to make carrot ginger soup
This carrot ginger soup recipe is extremely easy to prepare.
- Sauté the onions. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan heat some coconut oil over medium heat. Add onions with a pinch of salt and saute for about 10 minutes or until the onions are very soft and sweet. Make sure not to brown them.
- Add the garlic and ginger. Once the onions have softened, add grated ginger and pressed garlic to the pot and sauté for another minute.
- Spices. Add the spice mix and sauté vegetables for another minute.
- Cook the carrots. Add chopped carrots and vegetable stock to the saucepan and bring to a boil. Once the soup is boiling immediately turn down the heat and simmer for about 20 minutes until the carrots are really soft and easy to break with a fork.
- Blend. Once the carrots are cooked add coconut milk and lime juice. Carefully transfer the soup into the food processor and blend it until the soup is nice and smooth. In a Thermomix it takes me 20 seconds on speed 9. An immersion blender works very well too. Whatever you are using, be careful, the soup is hot!
- Season. Taste the soup and season with salt and pepper. Garnish with fresh coriander and chilies.
- Enjoy!
How to store ginger carrot soup
I enjoy preparing this carrot and ginger soup in advance for the week ahead. Soups are so effortless to make and store.
Refrigerate. To have it throughout the week, simply store the soup in an airtight container in the fridge for 4 to 5 days.
Freeze it. Alternatively, you can freeze any leftovers by pouring them into freezer-safe containers where they can last for up to 3 months.
When you are ready to eat, you can reheat the soup on the stovetop or in the microwave.
