Why You’ll Love This Carrot Ginger Soup
This vibrant soup delivers big flavor from just a handful of ingredients. It begins with roasting the carrots, which deepens their natural sweetness and helps retain their nutrients.
The carrots are then blended with sautéed shallots, ginger, and garlic until smooth. On its own, the soup is luxuriously creamy—but add a splash of lemon juice, a touch of miso, and a swirl of coconut milk, and it becomes otherworldly!
The result is a harmonious blend of sweetness, savory depth, and a gentle, peppery warmth from the ginger.

- Condiments: Olive Oil, Miso Paste, Vegetable Broth
- Dairy Alternatives: Coconut Milk
- Other ingredients: Water
