Creamy Vegan Carrot Ginger Soup

Fun fact, I didn’t like soups when I was younger. To me, soups were not real food. I treated them like thick beverages, haha. Stupid I know! But now I love soups, especially when they are creamy and comforting. And let me tell you, this carrot ginger soup is super creamy and is bursting with flavor. It’s perfect for colder months, obviously, but also light enough for spring and summer! You see, there is no excuse not making this delicious cream of carrot soup.

Perfect, right? The main ingredients are:

Carrots – lots of it, 1 kg actually Potato – just one, but it makes the soup creamier Ginger – very recommended for flavor Coconut milk – for the smooth and velvety finish

Below you can see 4 process shots. Making this soup is very easy. All you need is a large pot, an immersion blender (or a regular blender), all ingredients and that’s it. PHOTO 1: First, chop the carrot and potato and prepare the other ingredients. Now it’s time to cook the soup in a large pot until the veggies are soft. This takes about 20 minutes, depending on the size of the chopped veggies. PHOTO 2: I used an immersion blender to mix the soup in the pot. You can, however, also mix the soup in a blender. Just make sure to work in batches. PHOTO 3: Add the coconut milk to the carrot soup and stir with a spoon. It will get creamy and lighter. You can use as little or as much as you want, depending on what you prefer. PHOTO 4: Taste the soup and adjust seasonings. Add more salt/pepper/spices to taste. Then serve and enjoy! You can decorate it with croutons, pumpkin seeds, and fresh herbs.
