Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • ½ medium yellow onion, chopped
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • 3 garlic cloves, smashed
  • 1 pound carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 3 cups vegetable broth
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup (optional)

Garnish

  • Coconut milk, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat the Oil and Sauté Onions: In a large pot over medium heat, warm the extra-virgin olive oil. Add the chopped yellow onion, sea salt, and several grinds of freshly ground black pepper. Sauté for about 8 minutes until the onions become soft and translucent, releasing their natural sweetness.
  2. Add Garlic and Carrots: Stir in the smashed garlic cloves and chopped carrots. Continue cooking for another 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, to soften the carrots and infuse the flavors.
  3. Add Ginger, Vinegar, and Broth; Simmer: Mix in the freshly grated ginger, apple cider vinegar, and vegetable broth. Increase heat to bring the soup to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer gently for 30 minutes, or until the carrots are tender enough to be pierced easily with a fork.
  4. Blend the Soup: Allow the soup to cool slightly for safety. Transfer the soup in batches to a high-speed blender and blend until completely smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency by adding water or additional broth if the soup is too thick.
  5. Season and Sweeten: Taste the blended soup and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or a teaspoon of maple syrup if you prefer a touch of sweetness. Stir well to combine.
  6. Serve and Garnish: Serve the soup warm, optionally garnished with a swirl of coconut milk or any other favorite toppings like fresh herbs or toasted seeds for added texture and flavor.

Notes

  • For extra spice, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of curry powder before simmering to add warmth and depth.
  • This soup keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and can be frozen for longer storage without loss of flavor.
  • To make it vegan and dairy-free, use coconut milk as garnish instead of cream.
  • Adjust the thickness of the soup by adding more broth or water when blending, based on your preference.
