I so love making warm soups on cold days. It even gets cold here in Auburn, Alabama, in the winter. Yes, it does. Gets very cold here! The soup is very hearty, smooth, and very flavorful with carrots, onion, garlic, rosemary, thyme, and lemon juice to brighten up this delicious soup.

Ingredients

  • 10 bunches long raw carrots, scrubbed, clean, and cut into chunks
  • 1 large yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons ground ginger
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon dried thyme
  • 2 tablespoons garlic powder
  • 6 cups chicken broth/chicken stock/vegetable broth/vegetable stock

How To Make savory carrot and ginger soup

  • Step 1
    Secure a medium saucepot. Add in cleaned, scrubbed carrots that are chopped, cover with water, and bring to a boil.
  • Step 2
    In a Dutch oven pot, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add in chopped onion and sauté until translucent.
  • Step 3
    To the Dutch oven with the onions, sprinkle in the garlic, stirring frequently on medium heat.
  • Step 4
    After the carrots are softened, drain and add them to your Dutch oven pot. Add chicken stock to this stir.
  • Step 5
    Bring the Dutch oven pot up to a boil and then reduce the heat. Since the carrots are already cooked, you will be able to use your immersion blender to blend inside your pot.
  • Step 6
    I blended mine smooth, but you can also reserve some chunks if you’d like.
  • Step 7
    Add in herbs and lemon juice and continue to blend with immersion blender.
  • Step 8
    Serve warm/hot with Texas toast or add seasoned croutons on top. You could also swish in some cream or milk, but I didn’t because I like the bright orange color and flavorful taste, and didn’t want the taste to get lost with milk added.
