Health Benefits

Carrot and ginger soup is not only delicious, it’s also very healthy and helps you fight a cold. Ginger has powerful anti-inflammatory effects, thus helps you build a strong immune system and has great healing effects. 

Furthermore, fresh ginger is known for its antibacterial effect and contains a lot of vitamin C. In short: Ginger can be very beneficial to your immune system, especially in winter, when colds are lurking everywhere you turn.

This soup is loaded with vitamins from the carrots and immune-boosting nutrients from the ginger. It’s a hearty warm meal that is healthy, vegan, and made with little effort.

Soup Comfort Food

I love to serve this carrot ginger soup for lunch or dinner! It’s more than just an appetizer! It’s warming, comforting, and makes a light meal served with some freshly baked bread.

Making creamy carrot soup is super simple and only takes half an hour. It’s excellent for meal prep as it can be reheated within minutes.

Feel free to add a quarter cup of coconut milk or cashew cream at the end to make this carrot ginger soup vegan, even more delicious, creamy, and a little milder in its taste. Decorate it with a few splashes of coconut milk and roasted sunflower seeds, and everyone in your family is happy!

Recipe FAQ

How long does this soup last? You can keep it refrigerated in a sealed container for at least 3 days.

How do I heat soup back up? Put it in the microwave either for a few minutes, or heat it in a pot on the stove over medium heat. The soup may thicken up slightly in the fridge, but it usually liquefies again when warmed up. If it’s still too thick, add some extra water if you need to.

Can I freeze the soup? Yes, you can freeze it for a good 3 months and defrost straight into a pot over medium heat. You don’t need to let it thaw beforehand.

Less Ginger? Reduce the amount to only one tablespoon for a less intense ginger flavor.

Do I need to peel carrots? Not if using organic carrots. Otherwise, it’s better to peel them.
