Learn how to make delicious Spiced Carrot Ginger Soup. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.
Total Time:45 minutes
Yield:4 servings
Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for extra heat)
1 pound carrots, peeled and sliced
4 cups vegetable broth
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/4 cup coconut milk
Fresh cilantro, for garnish
Lime wedges, for serving
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring until fragrant, about 1 minute. This step always reminds me of helping my abuela in the kitchen, her senses guiding every move.
Stir in the ground cumin, coriander, and cayenne pepper, cooking for another 30 seconds to release the spices’ aromas.
Add the sliced carrots to the pot and pour in the vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook until the carrots are tender, about 20 minutes.
Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. If you don’t have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender.
Return the blended soup to the pot, stir in the coconut milk, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Heat through gently.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and lime wedges on the side. I love how the lime adds a refreshing contrast to the warm spices, a trick I learned during my travels in Marrakech.
