Ingredients
 

  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 1 onion minced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp (20 g) ginger minced, see notes
  • 1.1 lb (500 g) carrots roughly chopped
  • 2 cups (720 ml) vegetable broth
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) coconut milk optional
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice or lime juice
  • 1 tsp maple syrup optional
  • salt & pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Heat a large pot with oil. Add onion, garlic, and ginger and sauté for 5 minutes. Add carrots and sauté for another 3 minutes while stirring occasionally.
  • Pour in the vegetable broth, pop on the lid, and let it simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Blend the soup until smooth using a blender or immersion blender. Optional: Add ¼ cup coconut milk, dairy-free cream, or this cashew cream for a creamier soup. Add more water if you like your soup thinner.
  • Season to taste with lemon juice, maple syrup, salt, and black pepper. → Decorate the soup with a few splashes of coconut milk and toasted sunflower seeds.

Notes

  • Ginger: This soup is very gingery, which is healthy and helps to reduce inflammation if you have a cold. Reduce the amount to only 1 tbsp for a less intense ginger flavor.
  • Make-Ahead: Keeps fresh for 3 days. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
  • Freeze: Can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw it directly in a pot over medium heat.
