Carrot Ginger Soup – Smooth and creamy carrot soup with ginger, turmeric, garlic, and chicken broth.  Healthy, comforting, and and the perfect way to brighten up a cold day!

As soon as the weather gets cold I am all about soup. I am pretty sure that Creamy Wild Rice Soup might be my all time favorite soup, but I always want to try new recipes.  A friend of mine has been raving about her carrot soup for a couple years, so I finally had to give it a try. 

The ginger, garlic, and turmeric together give this soup so much flavor and are perfect for a cold night or any day for a light lunch. 

This carrot ginger soup recipe is ready in minutes, super healthy and a great weeknight dinner.

 

I struggle to get my family to eat vegetables. They all will eat salads, but that is really just their excuse to eat the dressing and crunchy toppings.  I enjoy a lot of different vegetables, but bell peppers and beans are not my favorite.  Those are the ones that my guys actually like.  So the struggle is real for all of us. 

What You’ll Need

  • Carrots
  • Onion
  • Olive Oil
  • Garlic
  • Ginger
  • Turmeric
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Chicken Broth

One vegetable I have never been a fan of though is cooked carrots.  I will eat raw carrots all day long, but cooked carrots have never been something I will eat. But there is something about adding garlic, ginger, and turmeric with the pureed carrots in this soup that makes it extra delicious! I think the reason I don’t like cooked carrots is the texture, and here it is just so creamy there is no texture issue.  

Carrot soup is ready in minutes and so creamy. Healthy, fresh, and bright for a cold night.

How to Make Carrot Soup

  1. Start by sauteing onions and sliced carrots together until the onions are soft and translucent. 
  2. Next you mix in the garlic, ginger, turmeric, salt and pepper.  Everything cooks together for a couple minutes until you can start to smell the garlic and ginger. 
  3. Pour in the chicken broth and boil until the carrots are soft. If you want to make this soup vegan or vegetarian you can use vegetable broth. 
  4. You can use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth or do in batches in a blender.  It will be completely creamy and smooth and ready to serve.  Taste and adjust the salt and pepper if necessary. 
  5. I like to garnish with pumpkin seeds and chopped cilantro for the crunchy texture and the bright fresh flavor. 
Easy soup recipe with carrots, ginger, garlic, and turmeric. Easy to make vegetarian or vegan.

How Long to Boil Carrots for Soup

This really depends on the size you cut your carrots.  If you are in a hurry you can use shredded carrots and it will take about 5 minutes until they are soft and ready to puree.  For diced carrots that are about 1/4 inch thick, it takes about 10-12 minutes for them to be soft.  Use a fork to test when they are soft enough.
