Carrot Ginger Soup
Delicious & Healthy Dinner/Starter.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 4 cups carrots, peeled and chopped
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon ground coriander
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)
- Coconut milk or cream, for garnish (optional)
Recipe Preparation
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
- Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pot and sauté for another minute, until fragrant.
- Add the chopped carrots to the pot and stir well to combine with the onion, garlic, and ginger.
- Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the carrots are tender.
- Using an immersion blender or a regular blender, puree the soup until smooth and creamy. Be cautious when blending hot liquids and follow the manufacturer's instructions for your specific blender.
- Return the soup to the pot (if using a regular blender) and place it over low heat. Stir in the ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, and pepper. Adjust the seasonings according to your taste preferences.
- Allow the soup to simmer for an additional 5 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
- Serve the carrot ginger soup hot. Garnish with fresh cilantro and a drizzle of coconut milk or cream, if desired.
- Enjoy!!!
