CREAM OF CARROT & GINGER SOUP

Sweetness of carrots offset by the kick from the ginger and silky texture. This deliciously creamy winter warmer is also a great immunity booster.

It is super easy & quick to make, using only a handful of ingredients.

INGREDIENTS ------------------

8 large carrots, cut into large chunks

1 large piece of fresh ginger, peeled and cut into small pieces

1 small red onion, quartered

3 garlic cloves, roughly chopped

1 tbsp grapeseed oil

1 tbsp unrefined salt

1000 ml filtered water

2 cloves roasted garlic [optional]

garnish options:

freshly ground sichuan pepper, cilantro, fresh parsley

METHOD ------------------

1. Heat the vegan butter or cooking oil in a large soup pot over medium heat.
   

2. Add onion, pinch of salt and sauté for few minutes until onion softened.
   

3. Add garlic & ginger and cook for 1 – 2 minutes more.
   

4. Add carrots, salt and water. Cover with lid and cook on low/medium heat until carrots are cooked (ca. 20 min).
   

5. Add more filtered water if required, depending on how dense you want the soup to be.
   

6. Add roasted garlic [if using] and blitz with hand blender until smooth. Garnish with fresh coriander or your favourite soup toppings. Serve hot in winter or cold [gazpacho] in summertime.
