Ingredients for Carrot Ginger Soup
Not only is this recipe addicting to eat, but it’s made by only using a few super healthy ingredients. Most of which you may already have on hand. Here’s what you need to make your new favorite soup:
- Carrots: One of the key nutrients in carrots is beta-carotene, a powerful antioxidant that the body converts into vitamin A, which is essential for maintaining healthy vision, as well as for the growth and development of cells in the body.
- Ginger: Ginger has long been used in traditional medicine to help with a variety of ailments, including nausea, sore throat, and even headaches. It is also well known for its anti-inflammatory properties.
- Onion: Adding an onion in this recipe gives this soup a rich umami flavor and a slight sweetness that takes it to the next-level.
- Vegetable Stock: I use vegetable stock in this recipe so that it can be vegetarian, but if you have no preference, chicken stock works great too!
How to Make Carrot Ginger Soup
1. Sauté the Onion: Heat olive oil in a stock pot over medium heat and sauté the onion for 4-5 minutes or until translucent.
2. Add Ingredients and Simmer: Add the stock, ginger, carrots and salt, bring the liquid to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes or until carrots are fork tender.
3. Purée the Soup: Puree the soup using in a blender or with an immersion blender until creamy and smooth.
3. Serve with Toppings: Serve topped with a dollop of yogurt, sour cream or crème fraiche and pumpkin seeds if desired.
Storage/Freezing Instructions
Storage: To store carrot ginger soup in the refrigerator, allow it to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. It can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
Freezing: For longer storage, freezing is an excellent option. Once the soup has cooled, ladle it into freezer-safe containers, leaving some space at the top for expansion. Seal the containers tightly, label them with the date, and place them in the freezer for up to 3 months.
