This is a warm and creamy soup featuring the earthy sweetness of carrots and sweet potato, brightened by a lively kick of fresh ginger. It is a comforting dish perfect for a chilly day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 pound carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 1 pound sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (optional, for extra creaminess)
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
  2. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Add the chopped carrots and sweet potatoes to the pot. Stir to coat them with the aromatics.
  5. Pour in the vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are very tender.
  6. Remove the pot from the heat. Carefully use an immersion blender to blend the soup until completely smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a regular blender and blend until smooth, returning it to the pot.
  7. Stir in the salt and pepper. If you desire a richer soup, stir in the heavy cream now.
  8. Heat gently for a few more minutes if you added cream. Do not boil.
  9. Ladle the soup into bowls. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For a vegan option, simply omit the heavy cream or substitute with full-fat coconut milk.
  • If you prefer a less intense ginger flavor, start with just 1 teaspoon and add more to taste after blending.
  • Sweet potatoes vary in sweetness; taste the soup before adding any sweetener, though it usually requires none.
