Equipment

  • 1 Large pot
  • 1 Blender or immersion blender
  • 1 Measuring cups and spoons
  • 1 Cutting board
  • 1 Wooden spoon

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 pound carrots, peeled and chopped (about 4-5 medium carrots)
  • 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • to taste salt
  • to taste pepper
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • for garnish fresh cilantro or parsley (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened and translucent.
  • Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  • Add the chopped carrots to the pot, along with the vegetable or chicken broth and ground cumin. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes or until the carrots are tender.
  • Remove the pot from heat and let it cool slightly. If using a blender, carefully transfer the soup in batches and blend until smooth. If using an immersion blender, blend directly in the pot until smooth.
  • Stir in the lemon juice, and season the soup with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro or parsley if desired.
  • For a creamier texture, you can add a splash of coconut milk or cream before serving.
  • This soup can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of ginger based on your preference for spiciness!
