    🥣 Ingredients Needed

    The great part of this carrot soup recipe is that it requires only a few ingredients and from there, you can add anything you wish as a topping.

    Labelled ingredients on a wooden board: celery, carrots, onion, garlic and ginger.
    • Carrots: Use the regular fresh carrots rather than frozen.
    • Fresh ginger: again, fresh is best, it will give more aroma to the soup.
    • Onion: half of one large, if small use a whole one.
    • Vegetable stock: You can use homemade broth or store-bought if it is easier for you.

    📋 Variations and Substitutions

    Since this is a basic carrot soup recipe, it gives you a lot of room to customize it.

    • Herbs: Add more flavours by blending some oregano, thyme or dill, they pair well with carrots!
    • Some spices: have you ever tried to add some cinnamon to your soup? What about nutmeg? Delicious.
    • Broth: You can also use chicken stock if you wish.
    • Toppings: Seeds or toasted nuts, croutons, a drizzle of cream, crumbled feta or goat, or simply some fresh ground black pepper. Also, to give a creamier texture, add a drizzle of coconut cream or olive oil.
    • Little extra extra: you can add some orange juice or lime juice to cut the sweetness a little if you wish. Add about a tablespoon at the same time that the broth.

    Alternatively, this vegan ginger carrot soup recipe can be cooked in the Instant Pot.

    🔪 How To Prepare It

    This vegan ginger carrot soup is easy to prepare, can be made ahead and frozen for later. Double your batch while you are at it! Here we only have 5 ingredients and the broth, you are a quick chop-chop away from your warm soup.

    collage of steps for the carrot ginger soup: left chopped carrots, celery, ginger, onion and garlic on the wooden board and right, chopped vegetables in a pot.

    First, using a chef knife, a peeler and a chopping board, chop all your vegetables. Wash and peel the carrots before slicing them into coins, chop the onion and garlic. Peel the ginger and chop it too (Picture 1). Next, in a hot large pot, drizzle some olive oil and sauté the vegetables for 5 to 8 minutes (Picture 2).

    Tip: To peel a piece of ginger, use a spoon to scrap the peel.

    Now, add the vegetable broth to the pot (picture 3) and allow to simmer over medium heat for about 40 minutes (picture 4).

    Lastly, puree the soup using your immersion blender, blend until smooth. It is now ready to serve!

    💭 Recipe FAQs

    How do I thicken the carrot soup?

    What can I do with too many carrots?

    You can make some roasted carrots and potatoes or some carrots fries in the Air Fryer. Lastly, you can also make these delicious patties.

    Which country is the carrot soup from?

    France! Also called 'Potage Crécy' in French, Crécy refers to any dish with carrots or served with carrots.

    How and how long can I store the soup?

    You can either store it in an air-tight container in the fridge for 3 to 4 days or in the freezer for 2 to 3 months.
