How to make Carrot Apple Ginger Soup with Coconut Milk
Timing details
Total time as listed by the original author. Review the method for additional preparation and waiting.
- 01
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onions and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add ginger and garlic and cook for one minute, until fragrant. Add sliced apples and diced carrots and cook for 3 minutes more.
- 02
Increase heat to medium-high and add vegetable broth. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, until carrots and apples are softened, about 30 minutes. Remove pan from the heat and let rest for 10 minutes, then stir-in the coconut milk.
- 03
Use an immersion (stick) blender to fully blend the soup, or, if using a regular blender, blend the soup in batches. (Be sure not to fill the blender more than halfway full or hot soup will explode everywhere. Also, when blending hot liquids in a blender, leave the blender lid slightly ajar to let some of the steam escape.)
- 04
Once all of the soup is blended, return to the pot (if you used a regular blender). You may decide that you want you soup a bit thinner in consistency. Add more vegetable broth if you’d like. Taste, and add a dash of fresh ground nutmeg, as well as salt and pepper to taste. The soup won’t need much pepper, as ginger is pretty spicy.
- 05
Serve with a drizzle of quality olive oil, a sprinkling of fresh cracked pepper, coconut milk, vegan sour cream, cashew cream, fresh coriander (cilantro), carrot greens, etc…
- 06
Soup will last, in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Soup also freezes well. Thaw in the fridge before reheating.
