Vegan Carrot Ginger Soup

This colourful soup is going to warm you from the inside out all while delivering you a nutrient-packed soup that you can feel good about eating all week long, and/or feeding to the whole family. This Vegan Carrot Ginger Soup recipe is one of my old favs and when I was looking for a soup to make this weekend as comfort food, I thought I’d bring this recipe back out to whip up as it’s so delicious and also good to boost my immunity which easily gets rundown when I’m always on-the-go. You can whip it up in 40 minutes. Enjoy it while you cozy up with your kids and family, and simply enjoy your free time you have from not spending all day in the kitchen!

What’s so significant about this golden recipe that I’ve had in my back pocket for a while now is that this recipe was actually the first recipe Andrew ever contributed to FoodByMaria. I discovered it back about four years ago when I was still working a regular job and I didn’t have time to cook so I asked him to make me something to eat while I worked. He came up with this delicious soup and I was blown away! Why? Because I despise and hate cooked carrots. Do you know what that means? This recipe is great for picky eaters in your family or kids that you need to hide vegetables from. I won’t tell! 😉

The benefits of carrots

Okay, I mentioned this soup is nutrient-dense, and here’s the breakdown on what these orange veggies add to this soup to make it so healthy:

• Rich in beta-carotene
• High in vitamin A
• Rich antioxidant source
• Helps promote healthy digestion
• Good for your skin

Yep, they are a magical vegetable, and one that I USUALLY only like raw but this soup is an exception! 

How do you make Carrot Soup vegan?

This recipe is really simple to make. In a large pot, you add olive oil and heat it for about 30 seconds before throwing in your onions. If you’ve followed other soup recipes on here, you’ll know that this is one of the most important steps to really pull a lot of flavour from the onions, and then the garlic and ginger that you’ll cook on low for about 8 minutes in total before adding all the vegetables.

Now you’ll be able to add the carrots, butternut squash, zucchini, red pepper, and green onion into your pot. Get creative here, if you have other vegetables you want to use up, feel free to toss them in too! You’ll then increase your heat and place the lid on to cook these veggies up for around 5 minutes before you add in your stock paste, and salt and pepper.

Increase your heat here to high and just cover the vegetables with water and bring it to a boil. You’ll want to simmer your vegetables here until the carrots are totally cooked (about 15 minutes) before you throw in the coconut milk for the creaminess, and blend it all up until it’s smooth.

When serving, if you want to make it look pretty, drizzle some olive oil, a pinch of pepper, herbs, lime juice, seeds, or whatever your heart desires.
