Yesterday started off with a chill but, beautifully sunny and golden. By afternoon, the light began to recede behind dark clouds, and the heavy sky began its letting go. We left the windows wide open, bundled up with blankets and listened to the drenching rain pour down hard – it felt like music.

That evening, a comforting bowl of soup seemed to be just thing we needed… and this is how this glowing healing bowl of soup came into being.

Fresh turmeric is becoming more accessible around here, even showing up in our mainstream grocery stores, which is saying a LOT.  It always makes me happy to see it, not only because of its great healthy benefits, but because the color is so startling and beautiful.

Description

Glowing Carrot Ginger Soup with turmeric and Coconut Milk is light, luscious, earthy and flavorful. Vegan and adaptable!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil ( or ghee or olive oil)
  • 1/2 cup chopped shallot ( 2 shallots, or 1/2 an onion)
  • 12 tablespoons chopped, peeled turmeric (see notes)
  • 2 tablespoon chopped, peeled ginger root
  • 4 garlic cloves, rough chopped
  • 4 cups veggie broth ( or sub carrot juice- see notes!)
  • 1 lb chopped carrots
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, then more to taste
  • 3/41 can of coconut milk, saving some for swirling if you want. (See notes for substitutions)
  • 1 teaspoon yellow curry powder (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar,
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup
  • Pinch or two cayenne, to taste
  • garnish with mint, cilantro or edible flowers

Instructions

  1. Peel and chop shallots, turmeric, ginger and garlic.
  2. Chop the carrots into ½ inch rings, no need to peel if scrubbed.
  3. Heat oil in a large pot, over medium heat.
  4. Add shallots, turmeric root and ginger and sauté until golden, about 3-4 minutes. (see notes if using ground turmeric) Add garlic and continue cooking, stirring about 2 minutes.
  5. Add veggie stock and carrots and salt.
  6. Bring to a boil, cover, turn heat down and simmer until carrots are tender, 15-20 minutes.
  7. Let it cool a bit, then blend in batches until very smooth and velvety.
  8. Place the soup back in a pot, over low heat and add coconut milk and curry, vinegar and maple.  Taste, adjust salt.  Add cayenne for a little heat. See notes.
  9. Serve with fresh herbs and coconut milk swirls.

Notes

If using ground turmeric add it when you add the curry powder. It is much more intense in flavor than the fresh root, so start with one teaspoon, adding more to taste.

If your soup lakes depth, add a teaspoon or two of miso paste, or soy sauce, or a small veggie bouillon cube.

Sometimes I replace half of the veggie broth with fresh carrot juice, for more carrot flavor.

Substitute coconut milk with ½ cup raw cashews (simmer with the carrots until tender) then blend. You can also use cream or half and half or vegan cream- add to taste.

  1. Absolutely delicious and so simple to make. I did add a bit of soy and about a teaspoon of veggie broth concentrate to deepen the flavor as you suggested. A big hit!






  2. Beautiful, delicate and delicious – not to mention healthy! When serving it to my Thanksgiving guests, I tried to make the round coconut milk swirl as illustrated, but it sank into the soup. However when we stirred it, the coconut milk appeared again. Definitely a keeper. As always, thanks for your great and tasty recipes.






  3. This is my first time (EVER) posting a comment on a recipe. So that should say something about this recipe.
    I’ve never made a carrot soup and I’m so happy I waited for this recipe. It was so easy, I made it during a 45 minutes Zoom meeting. Absolutely delicious!! I added miso and a TINY bit of soy sauce. I’ll probably make homemade buttery croutons to top the leftovers!
    I’m planning on making a tripe batch to freeze this weekend.






  4. Just made this carrot soup, and it is amazing. I added some cilantro and thyme and a bit more heat and it is fabulous. Looking forward to lunches for a couple of days. Thank you, Sylvia. Judith

  5. My husband said this is the best soup he’s ever had! Everything in it is so good for you–turmeric, ginger, garlic, carrot, coconut milk–a keeper for sure! Thank you Sylvia!






  6. Another INCREDIBLE recipe! My husband made a double batch of this delicious Carrot-Ginger Soup, so we had it for 2 days and loved it! Then, we still had soup on the third day… well, we added hand fulls of greens and lots of shelled shrimp, and avocado on top. Oh WOW! This soup, with shrimp, will bring your friends to tears of joy! Another perfect recipe! Thank you, Sylvia!






  7. Delicious soup, thank you Sylvia. I used ground turmeric and raw cashews, otherwise everything was per your recipe. And my sacral loved the warming boost!






  8. I’m looking for anti-inflammatory recipes for a post surgery diet and this looks amazing! I’d like to add some protein, maybe lentils or chickpeas? Do you have any suggestions of what would go best? Thanks as always Sylvia!

  9. This soup had a pleasing yet mild favor. I didn’t have the carrot juice, so I used vegetable broth as the liquid. It was my first time cooking with fresh tumeric, and I was surprised at how mild its flavor was. I expect that using the carrot juice would add to the flavor, but it’s not something that I typically have lying around! When I make this soup again, I will add even more tumeric, and see if that deepens the flavor. I might also consider a dash or two of Worcetershire. Nice recipe.
