Deliciously CREAMY CARROT GINGER SOUP Recipe

coconut milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: regular milk

Almond milk reduces calories while providing a creamy texture.

vegetable broth

🥗Healthier: homemade vegetable stock

💰Cheaper: water with seasoning

Homemade stock can be healthier and more flavorful.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Avocado oil is healthier with a higher smoke point.

ginger

🥗Healthier: turmeric

💰Cheaper: ground ginger

Ground ginger is more accessible and still flavorful.

In a large Dutch oven or stock pot over medium heat, add olive oil and chopped onions; sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.

Add minced garlic and ginger; cook for an additional 1 minute while stirring.

Pour in vegetable broth and add salt and pepper; stir to deglaze the pan.

Add sliced carrots and coconut cream; bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Once boiling, reduce heat to medium, cover, and cook for 12 minutes or until carrots are tender, stirring halfway through and adding lemon zest at that time.

Remove from heat and let cool for 15 minutes.

Blend the soup mixture until desired texture is achieved; return to the cooking pan.

Stir in lemon juice and warm on low heat.

Taste for seasoning and adjust if necessary; serve hot, optionally garnished with parsley or cilantro.
