Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Place carrots in a large bowl and drizzle one tablespoon of the olive oil over the top. Toss to coat and add 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Toss again. Spread in a single layer on a rimmed cookie sheet and bake, stirring/flipping every 15 minutes or so, until tender and browned in spots, about 40 minutes total. Remove from oven and let cool a bit.
- While the carrots are cooking, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a large soup pot over medium-low heat. Add the onions and cook until just beginning to brown, about 8 - 10 minutes. Add the ginger and the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and let simmer for five minutes until ginger is tender. Remove from heat.
- When both the roasted carrots and the broth have cooled somewhat, add the carrots to the broth. Working with a blender in batches, puree the soup and return it to the pot; or use an immersion blender directly in the pot. Please make sure your soup has cooled enough to safely puree!
- Place pureed soup over medium heat and return to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and stir in the heavy whipping cream or coconut milk. Taste and add additional salt and pepper if desired. Serve.

Steps:
- Heat 1/3 cup of the coconut milk in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and salt and cook while stirring until onion is softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the ginger, curry paste, and garlic and cook while stirring until well combined and fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add the carrots, 2 3/4 cups of broth, the lime juice, the 15 large cilantro sprigs, and the remaining coconut milk and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, until the carrots are very tender, about 30 minutes. Remove the cilantro sprigs and puree soup in batches in a blender, using the hot fill line as a guide.
- Transfer the pureed soup to a clean saucepan and place over low heat. Stir in 1/4 cup of the chia seeds and simmer uncovered until chia seeds are fully hydrated and soup reaches desired consistency, about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. (Note: If soup becomes thicker than you desire, stir in additional vegetable broth by the tablespoon to reach ideal consistency.) Taste and adjust seasonings, garnish with the remaining 1 teaspoon of chia seeds and small cilantro sprigs, and serve.
Tips for Making Creamy Carrot Ginger Soup:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your soup. Look for carrots that are bright orange and firm, and ginger that is plump and has a spicy aroma.
- Don't overcook the carrots: You want them to be tender but still have a bit of a bite to them. Overcooked carrots will become mushy and lose their flavor.
- Use a good quality vegetable broth: This will add a lot of flavor to your soup. If you don't have vegetable broth on hand, you can use water instead, but the soup will be less flavorful.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices: In addition to ginger, you can also add other spices to your soup, such as cumin, coriander, or turmeric. These spices will add depth and complexity to the flavor of the soup.
- Serve the soup with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings for carrot ginger soup include croutons, chopped fresh herbs, or a dollop of sour cream. You can also serve the soup with a side of bread or salad.
Conclusion:
Creamy carrot ginger soup is a delicious and healthy soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its creamy texture, slightly spicy flavor, and bright orange color, this soup is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
