Carrot Ginger Soup is a vibrant, creamy dish that combines the natural sweetness of carrots with the zesty warmth of fresh ginger. Rich in beta-carotene, vitamins, and antioxidants, the earthy flavor of the carrots is beautifully complemented by the aromatic ginger, creating a harmonious blend that is both comforting and refreshing. Ginger is known for its <\/span>digestive benefits<\/span>, making this soup not only delicious but also soothing for the stomach. This smooth and velvety <\/span>soup recipe<\/span> is perfect for a light lunch or starter for a more elaborate dinner. Pair it with crusty bread or a crisp green salad for a well-rounded meal.<\/span><\/p>\n In a Dutch oven or stockpot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add your onion and cook and stir until tender, four to five minutes. Then add the garlic and ginger and cook for one minute longer. Stir in the carrots, broth, zest, salt and pepper, then bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until carrots are tender, for 10 to 12 minutes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Pulse the mixture in a blender or with an immersion blender to the desired consistency. Stir in lemon juice and garnish with additional lemon zest, if desired.<\/span><\/p>\n To store carrot ginger soup first allow it to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. You can keep it in the refrigerator for four to five days and reheat it on the stovetop over medium heat or in the microwave until hot. <\/span><\/p>\n To freeze the soup, ladle it into freezer-safe containers or heavy-duty freezer bags, leaving some space for expansion. It will last for up to three months. Thaw the soup in the refrigerator overnight before reheating. If you prefer, divide the soup into individual portions before storing, making it easy to reheat just the right amount for a single serving. When reheating, stir occasionally to ensure even heating, and if the soup is too thick, add a splash of water or broth to reach your desired consistency.<\/span><\/p>\n While fresh ginger provides the best flavor and aroma, you can substitute it with ground ginger. Use 1\/4 teaspoon of ground ginger for every tablespoon of fresh ginger.<\/span><\/p>\n Turn your carrot ginger soup into a meal by pairing it with <\/span>savory scones<\/span>, stuffed mushrooms, or a warm <\/span>farro salad<\/span>. Add a touch of freshness with <\/span>tomato bruschetta<\/span> or a beet and goat cheese salad. For a heartier twist, try crispy <\/span>chickpea fritters<\/span> for a crunchy texture and added protein.<\/span><\/p>\n For a thicker, creamier soup, simmer the soup uncovered to thicken it by allowing excess liquid to evaporate, or add a <\/span>thickening agent <\/span>like a cornstarch slurry. To thin the soup, gradually add vegetable broth, water, or cream while stirring until you achieve the desired consistency.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This light, flavorful carrot ginger soup is vegan.
