Make a rich, creamy soup using sweet roasted carrots and spicy fresh ginger. This recipe is entirely plant-based and produces a silky smooth texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs carrots, peeled and roughly chopped
  • 1 large yellow onion, quartered
  • 4 cloves garlic, unpeeled
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 (13.5 oz) can full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup (optional)
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Toss the chopped carrots, onion quarters, and unpeeled garlic cloves with olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet.
  3. Roast for 30 to 35 minutes, until the carrots are tender and slightly caramelized.
  4. Remove the garlic skins once cooled slightly.
  5. Transfer the roasted vegetables to a large pot. Add the grated ginger and vegetable broth.
  6. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 5 minutes to allow the ginger flavor to infuse.
  7. Carefully transfer the soup mixture to a high-speed blender. Add the full-fat coconut milk and maple syrup, if using.
  8. Blend until completely smooth and creamy. You may need to do this in batches.
  9. Return the soup to the pot and heat gently if needed. Do not boil after adding coconut milk.
  10. Taste and adjust salt or pepper as necessary.
  11. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs.

Notes

  • For an even richer texture without coconut, substitute the coconut milk with 1 cup of soaked raw cashews blended with 1 cup of water.
  • Roast the carrots until they are quite soft; this concentrates their natural sweetness, which balances the ginger spice.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
