Yield Makes 6 first-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Chile butter:
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
2 tablespoons finely chopped green onions (white and green parts only)
1/4 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
Soup:
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter
1 1/2 pounds carrots, peeled, cut into 1/4-inch-thick rounds
1 1/4 cups chopped onion
1 5-ounce white-skinned potato, peeled, chopped
2 1/2 tablespoons minced peeled fresh ginger
5 cups (or more) vegetable broth or chicken broth
6 tablespoons unsalted roasted peanuts, finely chopped

Steps:

  • For chile butter:
  • Mix all ingredients in small bowl. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before using.
  • For soup:
  • Melt 2 tablespoons butter in large pot over medium-high heat. Add carrots, onion, potato, and ginger; sprinkle with salt and sauté until vegetables are slightly softened but not brown, stirring often, about 10 minutes. Add 5 cups broth; bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer until vegetables are soft, about 20 minutes. Cool slightly, then puree in batches in blender until smooth. Return soup to same pot; if desired, add more broth by 1/4 cupfuls to thin soup. Bring to simmer. Season with salt and black pepper.
  • Ladle soup into bowls. Top with small spoonful of chile butter; sprinkle with nuts.

Overall, I really enjoyed this soup. It's a great way to use up leftover carrots and it's packed with flavor.

This soup is a bit too spicy for my taste. I would recommend using less chile butter next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my soup turned out bitter. I think I might have used too much ginger.

This soup is a great base for adding your own personal touches. I added some diced zucchini and corn and it was delicious.

I followed the recipe exactly and the soup turned out too thick. I had to add more liquid to thin it out.

This soup is a bit bland for my taste. I added a teaspoon of curry powder and it really improved the flavor.

I made this soup with almond milk instead of regular milk and it turned out great! It's a delicious and dairy-free option.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover carrots. I always have a few carrots in my fridge, so this soup is a lifesaver.

I'm not usually a fan of carrot soup, but this one is amazing! The ginger and chile butter really make it.

This carrot ginger soup is a great way to warm up on a cold day. The flavors are perfectly balanced, and the chile butter and roasted peanuts add a nice touch of spice and crunch.
