You would never know that this rich creamy carrot ginger soup is actually super clean and really good for you. That is one of my favorite things about creating healthy recipes; making dishes that are truly nourishing to the body and delightful for the palate too. The ginger and carrot combination is perfect for chilly fall weather and embraces the flavors of the season. This carrot ginger soup is great as a starter or can easily become a complete meal with a side salad topped with your favorite protein. For as much flavor as this soup delivers, it has relatively few ingredients and can be made in one pot if you use an immersion blender to puree the soup. (Please see the notes sections of the recipe for more about immersion blenders). Enjoy this carrot ginger soup… It is healthy comfort food at its best!
More on Immersion Blenders: One of my favorite kitchen gadgets is the immersion blender or stick blender. This versatile tool lets you puree soft solids into smooth liquids easily and cleanly. I use mine regularly to puree soups, smoothies, and other dishes that I’d like to be smooth and silky. If you have a baby and are making your own baby food, this is the gadget for you. Since you can just put it in the pot in which you’ve cooked, turn it on, and puree, it is a really easy and efficient way to make pureed veggies for your baby.
The other reason I like using an immersion blender is because it eliminates the task of transferring piping hot soup into a blender and then into a third container. By using an immersion blender, you cut down on dirty dishes and the mess that comes from pouring or ladling hot liquids into the pitcher of a standard blender. The immersion blender is super easy to clean too. Just purchase a strong one so you get a lot of power from your immersion blender. I have a Kitchen Aid immersion blender and would highly recommend it.
