Find out how to Make Creamy Vegan Carrot Ginger Soup
This easy, 1-POT, 8-ingredient carrot ginger soup begins with a savory-sweet, gingery base of sautéed onion, garlic, ginger, and an entire lot of CARROTS! Two entire kilos to be exact.

Do you have got salt (in fact!), vegetable broth (we expect so!), and canned coconut milk (most likely!)? What about purple pepper flakes? We at all times do, however they’re elective in the event you don’t desire a spicy kick!
Throw all of it in (minus the coconut milk) and let that factor simmer!
Whereas the soup is simmering, we strongly suggest making the elective candy and spicy seed topping! It’s so simple as mixing collectively pepitas, sunflower seeds, maple syrup, and spices and baking till flippantly golden.
When the carrots are tremendous tender and the flavors have developed, add the coconut milk and purée into an excellent creamy, luxurious texture. The candy and spicy seeds are the right textural distinction!

It freezes nicely and comes along with largely pantry staples, making it an important dish to organize any time you have got an abundance of carrots. For serving, we love a swirl of sriracha and pairing with dishes like our Baked Crispy Peanut Tofu, Crispy Brussels Sprouts with Sriracha Aioli, Pad Thai Spring Rolls, or Vegan Ginger Sesame Noodles with Crispy Tofu.
