Carrot Ginger Soup recipe with step by step photos. This vegan carrot ginger soup is an easy recipe of a comforting soup made with carrots and spiced with ginger.
Juicy and red Delhi carrots are in the season and this soup tastes best with them. there is sweet taste in the soup coming from the carrots along with the warmth of ginger. The carrots impart a creamy texture in the soup and there is no need to add any thickening ingredient. The soup itself has a thick consistency. You can thin the soup more if you want by adding water or veg stock.
The recipe can also be made for toddlers. Just skip ginger and black pepper or add very less amounts of ginger. You can also check this creamy one pot thick Carrot soup.
I have cooked carrots in a pan, but you can also pressure cook carrots for one whistle.
Serve carrot ginger soup as a starter or just have it plain.
