Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic minced
- 1 pound carrots peeled and chopped
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
- Add the chopped carrots to the pot and stir to combine with the onion and garlic. Cook for a few minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for about 20-25 minutes or until the carrots are tender.
- Using an immersion blender or a regular blender, puree the soup until smooth and creamy. Be cautious when blending hot liquids; if using a regular blender, blend in batches and vent the blender lid to avoid pressure buildup.
- Return the soup to the pot (if using a regular blender), and stir in the ground cumin, ground ginger, and ground coriander. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve the carrot soup hot, garnished with fresh herbs, a dollop of sour cream, or croutons if desired.
