About the Recipe

You too will agree with me that some the most nourishing recipes are so easy and quick to make. This Carrot and ginger soup is just that recipe. It is Vegan Friendly, Gluten-free and kids friendly too!!! Yes a soup that even your kids will finish it happily.

This warm and nourishing soup is made with just the handful of pantry staples and is a one pot under 30 mins. recipe.

The soup is lightly spiced and the main flavour is from carrots and ginger and that secret ingredient. You can make it spicy as per your preference and heat tolerance.

Ingredients to make Carrot and Ginger Soup

Carrots- I like to use fresh juicy carrots in the recipe. You can use orange carrots or red carrots (for readers from India) or a combination of both.

Herbs- Ginger, Garlic, , Onions(red, white, yellow any will be good). Fresh coriander/rosemary for garnish. Instead of onions you can use shallots or celery.

Orange peel and Orange Juice- The secret ingredient in the recipe for a refreshing flavour! Grated orange peel and orange juice add a nice citrusy kick to this soup. And this is totally optional. But, I will suggest to add this for a refreshing flavour.

Spices- Bay Leaf, Cumin Powder, Garam Masala, Black Pepper Powder. Chilli flakes and paprika for the heat and smoky flavour.

Oil- Olive Oil/Avocado oil or Butter especially when making for kids. (missing from the below pic)

This is a one pot recipe and the soup is ready under 30 mins.

Chop carrots roughly in bite size cubes. Chop onions and coarsely crush ginger and garlic.

Heat oil in a pan, add bay leaf, then add ginger garlic and chopped onions and saute till onions start turning light pink.

Add vegetable stock/water, cover the pan and cook for about 10 mins. or till the carrots are tender.

Cool it a bit then puree it in a blender or use a hand held blender. When using a blender make sure to cool it completely as the steam expand which can push the top off and may cause burns and mess.
