    Ingredients needed for making Creamy Ginger Carrot Soup

    • 2 T. extra virgin olive oil
    • 1 small sweet onion, diced
    • 3-4 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1½ lbs. carrots, diced
    • 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
    • Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
    • 3 c. vegetable broth, preferably organic
    • 1 T. fresh ginger, minced
    • 2 t. fresh thyme leaves
    • ⅓ c. half & half, room temperature

    Instructions for making Creamy Ginger Carrot Soup

    1. Heat olive oil in a large, high-sided skillet over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, carrots, and bell pepper. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste, and cook, stirring frequently, until vegetables become soft and translucent, approximately 5 minutes.

    3. Remove from heat and puree mixture with an immersion blender until smooth. (A regular blender or food processor can also be used for this step). Taste and adjust seasonings, as desired.
    4. Return to medium heat and add half and half. Stir until barely combined and cook until heated through approximately 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and serve immediately. Enjoy!

    Variations

    Creamy Ginger Carrot Soup is a healthful and flavorful recipe that can be made with ease. To make this soup even more interesting and delicious, there are several variations that can be made. For instance, adding some beans or potatoes to the recipe will add creaminess, texture and additional nutrients. To switch up the flavor profile, you can use pumpkin or butternut squash instead of carrots or try different herbs like rosemary instead of the ginger. You could also experiment with different stocks such as vegetable or chicken for added depth. With these variations, you can enjoy Creamy Ginger Carrot Soup in new ways all year round!

    Storage
