Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 lbs carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and cubed
  • 6 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp ground turmeric
  • coconut milk drizzle (optional garnish)
  • fresh parsley or cilantro (optional garnish)
  • cracked black pepper (optional garnish)
  • toasted pumpkin seeds (optional garnish)

Equipment

  • large soup pot
  • cutting board
  • chef's knife
  • immersion blender or countertop blender
  • wooden spoon

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add onion and cook for 4–5 minutes until softened.
  2. Stir in garlic and fresh ginger. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add carrots, sweet potato, turmeric, salt, and pepper. Stir well to coat the vegetables.
  4. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the soup to a gentle boil.
  5. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 25–30 minutes until the vegetables are very tender.
  6. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth and creamy. You can also carefully blend in batches using a countertop blender.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  8. Serve warm with your favorite garnishes.

Notes

Slice carrots evenly for faster cooking. Fresh ginger gives the brightest flavor and blending thoroughly creates a silky texture. Add extra broth for a thinner soup or stir in coconut milk for extra creaminess. Roasting the carrots before simmering deepens the flavor beautifully.
