    Ingredients used in making this wholesome ginger carrot soup recipe.

    Carrots : You can use regular long carrots , rainbow carrots or peeled baby carrots.
    Ginger : Use fresh ginger root. It adds amazing spicy contrast to the sweetness of the carrots. I am adding 1 to 1.5 tablespoons of minced ginger. You can adjust it according to spice tolerance.
    Onion : A small onion or shallot is used to make soup base. You can use red onion, white onion or sweet onion.
    Garlic Cloves : Adds nice pungent flavor. Makes it rich and earthy.
    Smoked Paprika : I like to add a touch of smoky feel to my sweet soup. a teaspoon of it adds nice earthy tone.
    Other Ingredients : Extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper are rest of the ingredients. You can use water or vegetable broth to cook the carrots tender.
    Optional Garnishes : You can use fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro ( coriander). Sprinkle some cumin powder and red pepper flakes for garnish.
    Variations : Some fresh coconut cream ( or dollops of sour cream) drizzled on top is perfect for gourmet looks and feel. If you want to add tangy taste, add fresh lemon juice. You can also add 1 cup of coconut milk for creamy soup.

    How To Make

    Process step collage showing four major steps involved in making this healthy vegetarian soup recipe in Instant Pot.

    Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium high heat. Add the onions and garlic. Sprinkle some salt and cook until softened, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.

    Add the carrots and smoked paprika to the pot and cook about 5 more minutes, stirring occasionally.

    Stir in the minced ginger, water or vegetable stock. Let it come to boil, reduce to medium heat and simmer and cook until the carrots are soft, about 20 minutes. Turn off the heat.

    Let cool slightly. Using the immersion blender, blend the soup to smooth puree. Alternatively, transfer to a blender and blend until smooth. Taste and adjust seasonings. Serve warm with desired garnishes. Enjoy !

    Serving Suggestions

    • A bowl of soup and salad is my favorite lunch combination. Curried Lentil Salad, Quinoa Tabbouleh or Barley Salad pair so perfectly with this light and nourishing soup.
    • For café style meals, sandwich and soup also is simply best. Try it with Peanut Butter Sandwich or Masala Toast Sandwich.
    • Corn Fritters, Zucchini Fritters or Crispy Kale Chips made in the air fryer are great sides to serve along this soup.
    • A crusty bread, garlic toast or crostini topped with Vegan Olive Tapenade or dipped in Bread Dipping Oil also are our family favorites.

    Storage

    Like most soups, this carrot soup keeps well in the fridge for a few days and it can be frozen too. That makes it excellent candidate for make-ahead meal prep for routine meals as well as party and holiday menu.

    Let the soup cool down completely before storing. For refrigerator, I prefer to store it in air tight glass containers. It stays well for 5 days in refrigerator.

    You can freeze the soup in individual serving portions in freezer safe containers for up to 3 months. Thaw properly and reheat thoroughly.
