Ginger Carrot Soup

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Dishes Soups
The pairing of carrot and ginger is a culinary classic. The natural sweetness of the carrot is balanced by the fresh, citrusy heat of the ginger, resulting in a soup that is perfectly balanced—neither too sweet nor too spicy. The compounds in ginger (gingerols) transform upon cooking, providing a gentle, warming sensation that is especially welcome in winter.

Instructions

1 ✓

Peel and thinly slice the carrots. Chop the onion and grate the ginger.

Tip: The thinner the carrot, the faster it caramelizes and cooks.
2 ✓

Sauté the onion in butter until translucent, then add the grated ginger and garlic for 30 seconds.

Tip: Essential oils dissolve in fat, so you are building the flavor base now.
3 ✓

Add the carrots and sauté for 5-6 minutes until the edges start to brown.

Tip: This step is critical: caramelizing the carrot's sugars gives depth to the soup.
4 ✓

Pour in the broth and simmer until tender (approx. 20 minutes).

Tip: If using orange juice, add it only at the end so the acidity doesn't toughen the carrots during cooking.
5 ✓

Blend until smooth, stir in the cream (and orange juice).

Tip: The acidity and aroma of the orange highlight the ginger.

Recipe FAQ

How should I grate the ginger?
Ginger fibers are stubborn. It's easiest if you grate frozen ginger, or use a very sharp microplane perpendicular to the fibers.
