Carrot ginger soup is an easy, healthy, and delicious way to enjoy a warming bowl of nourishing soup.

I absolutely love soup. It's usually my go-to lunch since I work from home and I make up a huge pot most Sunday afternoons.

I love that I can use up whatever veggies I have in the fridge, and you can switch up the flavor with every batch.

I hope you love this carrot ginger soup as much as I do. It's really easy to make and the ginger gives a subtle warming flavor that pairs beautifully with the carrots.

You just need to sautee the veggies, add stock, simmer, then blend! So easy, and so tasty.

I also love that carrots are high in Vitamin A, rich in antioxidants, and provide a sweet flavor to the soup.

The ginger adds a nice warmth and a hint of spice and can help to boost your immune system and aid digestion.

Additionally, it’s a great way to use up carrots that may be on the verge of going bad!

If you love soup as much as I do, be sure to also try Lentil Soup, Lettuce Soup and Cannellini Bean Soup. They all pair well with Garlic and Herb Cheese Rolls.

Variations

• Add ⅛ teaspoon of ground cumin or ground cinnamon for more warming flavors.
• Swap half of the carrots for another root vegetable, such as parsnips or rutabaga.
• Instead of onions, use shallots or leeks.
• Add ¼ cup freshly squeezed orange juice for more zesty flavor.
