Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 3 large carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced

Spices & Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric

Liquids & Oils

  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the aromatics: Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, minced ginger, and ground turmeric. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and the spices are fragrant.
  2. Add carrots and broth: Add the chopped carrots to the pot and pour in the vegetable broth. Stir to combine all ingredients evenly.
  3. Simmer until tender: Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the carrots are very tender when poked with a fork.
  4. Blend the soup (optional): For a smooth and creamy texture, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a blender and pulse until smooth. Alternatively, use an immersion blender directly in the pot to puree the soup until desired consistency.
  5. Serve warm: Pour the heated soup into bowls and serve immediately to enjoy its comforting and immune-boosting benefits.
