Carrot and Ginger Soup

Share this post

You can make a rich and creamy soup with no cream, it feels decadent when in actuality it is healthy and full of vegetables. When we lived in Canada, we used to go to a little place called Wheaton’s and they had the best carrot and ginger soup.

This month for our Lazy Susan group the theme was 7 ingredients or less and healthy. The first thing that came to mind was soup. You can make a rich and creamy soup with no cream, it feels decadent when in actuality it is healthy and full of vegetables. When we lived in Canada, we used to go to a little place called Wheaton’s and they had the best carrot and ginger soup. I would crave it, and go at least once a week to get a cup. I think that I have figured out how they made it, and this soup is slightly exotic and full of flavor. You will never guess that it has little to no fat, and all of its richness comes from vegetables. The other beauty of a soup is that it is so filling. A big bowl of this carrot soup feels like a hearty meal and is without guilt.

This is not a specific recipe, more like this is what I have, and this is what I am using sort of thing. If you don’t like curry, try coriander or cumin. You could use butternut squash or another root vegetable. In the end, this is all going to get pureed together, so I was not concerned with making everything the same size, or grating the ginger. I will say, the smaller the dice of the carrot, the faster they will cook. I have a Vita-Mix, and it is amazing. One of the best features is that you can put hot liquid into it and the top will not blow off. If you are using a regular blender, let it cool down, puree it, then add it back to the saucepan and heat it up again. Otherwise, you will and everything in your kitchen will be wearing orange.

I made this tonight with butternut squash because that's what I had on hand (side note: I was actually planning to make your butternut squash soup, which I love, but then had a craving for a curried-coconut-gingered variety and lo and behold, you have a recipe for that too!) and it turned out very tasty! The only change I made was to add 1T of sugar to add just a touch of sweetness. I'm sure the carrots wouldn't need it, or perhaps if my butternut squash was a little more ripened that would have negated the need as well. Thanks for another great recipe!
