How to Make Carrot Ginger Soup

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 soup pot with a lid, add oil, onions, garlic and salt. Sweat on medium-low heat until onions are translucent, about 6-10 minutes with the lid on.

Add carrots, ginger, turmeric, and black pepper and cook with the lid on for about 15-20 minutes, until the carrots are soft.

Add water and simmer on low for about 30 minutes.

Purée soup in a blender, or blend with an immersion blender, until you reach the desired consistency.

Serve with fresh squeezed lemon juice. Optional: garnish with chopped cilantro or parsley.
