Tips on how to Make Creamy Vegan Carrot Ginger Soup
This easy, 1-POT, 8-ingredient carrot ginger soup begins with a savory-sweet, gingery base of sautéed onion, garlic, ginger, and an entire lot of CARROTS! Two complete kilos to be exact.
The remaining elements are all pantry staples, that means you might be able to make this soup…proper now! Recipes that don’t require operating to the shop are our JAM!
Do you’ve salt (in fact!), vegetable broth (we expect so!), and canned coconut milk (most likely!)? What about purple pepper flakes? We all the time do, however they’re non-obligatory should you don’t need a spicy kick!
Throw all of it in (minus the coconut milk) and let that factor simmer!
Whereas the soup is simmering, we strongly advocate making the non-obligatory candy and spicy seed topping! It’s so simple as mixing collectively pepitas, sunflower seeds, maple syrup, and spices and baking till evenly golden.
When the carrots are tremendous tender and the flavors have developed, add the coconut milk and purée into an excellent creamy, luxurious texture. The candy and spicy seeds are the right textural distinction!

It freezes effectively and comes along with largely pantry staples, making it an important dish to arrange any time you’ve an abundance of carrots. For serving, we love a swirl of sriracha and pairing with dishes like our Baked Crispy Peanut Tofu, Crispy Brussels Sprouts with Sriracha Aioli, Pad Thai Spring Rolls, or Vegan Ginger Sesame Noodles with Crispy Tofu.
