Carrot Ginger Soup is a soothing and delicious soup with bright ginger and healthy carrots. This soup recipe will keep you warm and nourished throughout the colder months – or any time of the year!
Hello again, this is Sara Maniez from Life’s Little Sweets! I am so happy to share this Carrot Ginger Soup recipe with you. This is a soup that I associate so well with this time of year. During the holidays, my Mother-in-Law makes her Carrot Ginger Soup and I find it to be one of the most soothing and warming soups to eat!
This delicious soup has only 15 minutes of prep time and takes only 25 minutes to make!
It has a marvelous, fragrant, and yummy scent while it’s cooking. That wonderful aroma gives way to the perfect cool weather soup to fill any hungry stomach.
Carrot Ginger Soup Recipe
I use a Dutch oven to make this Carrot Ginger Soup, but any large pot for soup will do.
For blending the cooked Carrot Ginger Soup to get its smooth, uniform consistency, you can use an immersion blender or regular blender.
It is helpful to have a kitchen scale to weigh the carrots to get the exact weight. If you do not have a kitchen scale, you can use 6-7 large carrots.
To keep your Italian parsley from being limp, cut the ends off and put them in ice water before or while you are cooking for a little while before chopping for garnish.
Make sure all the vegetables you chose are healthy looking and not old or limp. You will get a better-tasting soup if you use the best ingredients you can find.
This recipe uses one teaspoon of ginger which I find mild. If you want to add more ginger to give it more of a kick, you can.
