This carrot ginger soup recipe is simple but comes out with a pure flavor and velvety texture! Everyone will love this bright orange puree.

Here’s a bright orange puree that that tastes like sunshine: Carrot Ginger Soup! This recipe is ideal for when you’ve got a big bag of carrots to use up, or when you’re in the midst of a gray season craving sun. We often avoid pureed soups around here because they’re not filling enough to be a meal. But this carrot ginger soup: this one’s worth taking time for! It’s great as a first course, or for lunch with grilled cheese. Here’s why it’s worth peeling and chopping all those carrots.

Ingredients in carrot ginger soup

Carrot ginger soup is a simple pureed soup made with carrots, onion and ginger. For maximum creaminess, this one’s got coconut milk for a velvety texture. It also adds a subtle fruitiness that compliments the carrot perfectly. You could substitute heavy cream for a richer soup, but we adore the flavor that coconut brings. Here’s what you’ll need for this soup:

  • Yellow onion
  • Carrots
  • Ginger root
  • Olive oil
  • Vegetable broth
  • Garlic powder
  • Cinnamon
  • Salt
  • Coconut milk

Most of the effort involved in this soup? Peeling and chopping the carrots! It takes a while to prep, but once you take the first bite: we promise you it will be worth it.

Ginger

A quick way to peel ginger

Here’s a quick tip on how to peel ginger for this carrot ginger soup. Instead of using a vegetable peeler, here’s a trick: use a spoon! Ginger root is notoriously hard to peel with a vegetable peeler: it’s knobby and the skin is tough and stringy. But peeling it with a spoon works like a charm. It sounds unbelievable until you try it: but it’s the perfect tool for the uneven surface of ginger root.

Blending it up: a few tips!

Chop those veggies, sauté them up, and boil until the carrots are tender (head to the recipe below for exact details). The only fussy part of this carrot ginger soup is blending it! Here are some notes on blending:

  • While immersion blenders are handy, we like to use a standard blender here. With a stick blender, somehow we always end up with un-blended chunks and a mess all over our kitchen. It’s worth using a blender for this one!
  • Carefully transfer the hot soup using a ladle. Don’t pour it all into the blender, or you’ll get lots of hot splatters! A ladle is the way to go.

What to serve with carrot ginger soup

This carrot ginger soup is not a meal: just like most pureed soups. They’re meant as a first course, or a side dish that compliments another. For that reason, we usually avoid purees because we prefer spending cooking time on a main dish. But this carrot ginger soup is so tasty, it’s absolutely worth the prep time! Here are a few ways to accessorize it and make it into a meal:

  • Grilled cheese like Grilled Cheese in the Oven or Gourmet Grilled Cheese
  • Sandwich like Pear & Cheese Sandwich or Smoked Salmon Toast
  • Hearty salad like Butternut Squash Salad (with chicken or other protein), Sweet Potato Salad or Perfect Spinach Salad
  • As a starter for a main dish like Lemon Garlic Salmon, Easy Salmon Cakes, Pecan Crusted Salmon, Easy Baked Shrimp, Mushroom Pasta with Parmesan or Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms
