Creamy Carrot Soup Recipe

"A vibrant, antioxidant-rich soup with a creamy texture and a touch of ginger zing. Perfect as a main course or a complement to any meal."

This Creamy Carrot Soup is packed with beta-carotene, a powerful antioxidant that promotes eye and skin health. With a naturally sweet flavor balanced by a hint of ginger, it’s a delightful and nutritious dish. Enjoy it as a standalone meal or as a side dish to your favorite entrée.

Soup Base

• 1 tbsp avocado oil
• 4 cups chopped carrots (about 5 large carrots, peeled)
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 2 cups “no-chicken broth” or low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 tbsp minced ginger
• 2 tbsp cornstarch
• 1 cup rice milk (original)
• 1 cup water
• Salt and pepper to taste

Preparing the Soup Base

1. Heat a stockpot over medium heat and add the avocado oil.
2. Add the chopped onions and sauté, adding 1–2 tbsp of broth as needed to prevent sticking. Cook for 15–20 minutes until the onions caramelize.

Cooking the Carrots

1. Add the chopped carrots, minced ginger, broth, and water to the stockpot.
2. Simmer uncovered for about 30 minutes, or until the carrots are soft.

Making the Creamy Texture

1. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and rice milk until smooth. Set aside for a few minutes.
2. Add the cooked carrot, onion, and ginger mixture to a blender along with the cornstarch and rice milk mixture.
3. Blend until smooth and creamy. Depending on the size of your blender, you may need to puree in batches.

Finishing Touches

1. Pour the pureed soup back into the stockpot and warm over low heat if needed.
2. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Serving

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley, a drizzle of rice milk, or a sprinkle of ground pepper. Enjoy!

Carrots are a powerhouse of beta-carotene, an antioxidant that converts to vitamin A in the body. This nutrient promotes healthy vision, glowing skin, and a strong immune system.

• Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for a warm, spiced flavor.
• For a creamier texture, substitute coconut milk for rice milk.
• Enhance the ginger zing by adding a touch of ground ginger.
• Make it heartier by serving with a slice of crusty whole-grain bread.
