It’s the time of year when the weather starts to turn cool. And it’s the perfect time for a steaming bowl carrot ginger soup. Bonus: this easy carrot soup recipe is packed with anti-inflammatory ingredients like carrots, ginger, leeks, garlic, and turmeric. Carrot coconut soup also makes the best leftovers or an easy meal prep lunch for the cooler months. Pair your comforting carrot turmeric soup with paleo biscuits – it’s the perfect winter meal.

As you’re cooking this carrot and ginger soup, notice the fragrant aroma… so good! It reminds me of paleo sweet potato casserole, with the leeks and carrots.

Carrot Soup Ingredients

You probably have most of the ingredients for this vegan carrot soup already stocked. And once you try a bite of soup? You’ll taste how well the flavors go with each other.

Here is a breakdown the roasted carrot ginger soup ingredients:

• Carrots – They add a natural sweetness to the carrot ginger coconut soup.
• Olive oil – I prefer olive oil to any others for this healthy carrot soup recipe, but you could use avocado oil if you wanted.
• Leeks – Just use the white part of the leeks.
• Garlic – When you add fresh garlic to this easy carrot soup, you give it TONS of flavor. Yum!
• Fresh Thyme – Adds a burst of herbs to your carrot turmeric soup.
• Turmeric – If you are looking to increase your antioxidants, turmeric is a wonderful place to start.
• Vegetable Broth – Makes the base for carrot ginger soup.
• Fresh Ginger – I love the spiciness and flavor that fresh ginger adds to the carrot turmeric soup.
• Coconut Milk – The coconut milk is what gives the carrot ginger soup that creamy texture.
• Sea Salt – Ties all the flavors together.

How To Make Carrot Soup

This paleo carrot soup recipe does take a little bit to cook, but the good news is most of the time is hands off. And, it’s worth every single second.

Allowing it to cook for a while is what brings all those flavors together and makes it the best carrot soup recipe ever.

Here are the details on how to make carrot soup:

• Roast the carrots. Toss the carrots with olive oil and salt and roast until tender.
• Saute aromatics. In a dutch oven, heat together the olive oil, leeks, ginger, and garlic. Stir in spices and toast in the oil.
• Simmer the soup. Add in the carrots and broth, and simmer until vegetables are soft and tender.
• Blend soup with coconut milk. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup with a little coconut milk, until smooth.
• Swirl in more coconut milk (optional) into each bowl. Enjoy!

Why Is My Soup Not Smooth?

If you run into the problem of having roasted carrot soup that’s not smooth, there are two possible things that could have happened:

• Your carrots are undercooked. Before you start blending, make sure that your carrots and soft and tender! Your carrot coconut soup won’t be smooth if the veggies are not fully cooked.
• You didn’t blend it long enough. When you use the immersion blender, it should make the carrot turmeric soup nice and smooth. If it’s not, then just keep blending until it is. Be careful not to burn yourself when blending because the carrot coconut soup will be hot.

What Does Carrot Soup Taste Like?

This roasted carrot soup is sweet, flavorful, and creamy because of the coconut milk.

Carrot coconut soup has a combination of sweet (carrots, coconut, ginger) and savory (garlic, leeks, turmeric) flavors.

How Do You Store Roasted Carrot Soup?

Store this vegan carrot soup recipe in an airtight container after it cools completely. Roasted carrot soup will last 3-4 days in the refrigerator.

If you like to plan your meals ahead of time, this soup is perfect. You can easily put it in individual serving containers and grab what you need each day. Just warm it up in the microwave or stove top if you are home.

Can You Freeze Carrot Turmeric Soup?

Yes, you can freeze this carrot turmeric soup. I like to freeze it in single-serving containers or bags, so that I can take one serving out of the freezer as needed. The carrot coconut soup will last 2-3 months in the freezer, so it’s nice to make extra to have on hand.

Defrost in the refrigerator the night before and heat it up when you are ready to serve.

It’s a great soup to make BEFORE you’re sick, so all you have to do is pull it out of the fridge and heat it up. I love to make a double batch so that I’m never without it!
