Carrot and ginger soup is a delicious and healthy option for those looking to add more vegetables to their diet. This soup is packed with nutrients, low in calories, and easy to make.
To start making the soup, you will need carrots, onion, ginger, garlic, vegetable broth or water, salt, pepper and olive oil. Begin by peeling and chopping the carrots into small pieces. In a large pot or Dutch oven heat up some olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add chopped onions and cook them until they are soft and translucent.
Add minced garlic as well as grated fresh ginger into the pot with the onions. Stir everything together so that all ingredients are combined well.
Next step is to add chopped carrots into the pot along with vegetable broth or water. Bring everything to boil then reduce heat to simmer for 20-25 minutes or until carrots soften enough that they can be easily mashed down using a fork.
Once the carrot mixture has cooked through pass it through a blender or use an immersion blender directly on top of your stove-top pot until smooth consistency reached (you may have little chunks but that’s okay). Pour blended mixture back in your pot if needed; season with salt & pepper.
Serve hot topped with freshly chopped cilantro leaves for extra flavor enhancement!
This recipe can also be customized based on personal preference by adding other vegetables such as celery or sweet potatoes or adjusting levels of spices like cumin or turmeric!
Not only is this soup deliciously creamy in texture but it’s also very low in calories which makes it ideal for anyone who wants something hearty without feeling guilty afterwards about their food choices. Additionally Ginger acts as a natural anti-inflammatory agent that helps support digestion while Carrots contain high levels of Vitamin A which supports eye health among other benefits for overall healthiness boost!
