Creamy Carrot & Ginger Soup

Who enjoys a creamy soup that warms you up? Yet doesn’t contain tons of heavy cream to bloat your belly.

This is my fave go to soup when I’m feeling low on energy and don’t want to spend hours cooking.

It only requires like 5 ingredients and can be made in less than 30 minutes.

Ingredients:

1 Ib washed and chopped carrots

2 cloves of crushed garlic

1 tsp olive oil

1 generous thumb sized piece of fresh ginger

1 chopped yellow onion

1 250 ml container of vegetable broth

Hot Water

1 can of full fat coconut milk

cilantro for garnish

Directions:

In a large pot, heat at medium and add 1 tbsp of olive oil.

Add in the garlic, onions and ginger. Saute for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

Add in the carrots and saute for another 3 minutes.

Add in the vegetable broth, and top with enough water to cover the vegetables.

Bring to a boil.

Then reduce to medium-low heat and let simmer for 25 minutes until all veggies are cooked and soft.

Take off the heat, let cool.

In an immersion blender, blend up the soup. Then add back into the pot.

Add the coconut milk and stir well to combine.

Let simmer at a low heat for another 5 minutes to let all flavours fully incorporate.

When ready to serve, laddle some into a bowl and add in some fresh cilantro.

For a hit of protein, add in some toasted pumpkin and hemp seeds.

Serve with optional crusty bread!!!
