Recipe Instructions:
Ingredients:
• 500 grams of carrots, peeled and chopped
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
• 2 tablespoons butter or olive oil
• 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
• 1 cup coconut milk (optional for creaminess)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Sauté Aromatics:
• In a large pot, heat the butter or olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté until the onion is translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
2. Cook Carrots:
• Add the chopped carrots to the pot. Stir well to combine with the aromatics.
• Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Simmer Soup:
• Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the carrots are tender.
4. Blend Soup:
• Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blend until smooth.
5. Add Coconut Milk (optional):
• Stir in the coconut milk, if using, to add creaminess to the soup. Heat through over low heat.
6. Season and Serve:
• Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste.
• Ladle the Carrot Ginger Soup into bowls. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley.
Note:
• You can adjust the consistency of the soup by adding more broth or coconut milk, depending on your preference.
• This Carrot Ginger Soup is perfect for a comforting meal and can be served hot with crusty bread or a side salad.
