Ingredients
- 1 clove garlic finely chopped
- 1 piece ginger a thumb-sized pieced peeled and grated
- 1 medium onion finely chopped
- 2 tbsps olive oil
- 2 tsps turmeric powder
- 6 cups vegetable broth
- 4 cups carrots chopped
- fresh parsley to garnish
- pumpkin seeds to garnish
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
- When the oil is hot, add the onion and saute for about 5 minutes until translucent.
- Add the garlic, ginger, turmeric, salt, and pepper and saute for 2 minutes, or until the spices are fragrant.
- Add the carrots and saute for 3 more minutes.
- Pour in the vegetable stock, and bring the mix to a boil.
- When your soup has reached boiling point, reduce the heat and simmer.
- You’ll want to simmer the mix for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the carrots are cooked through.
- This is the fun part! Transfer your soup to a high-speed blender, and puree in batches (you probably won’t be able to fit it all in at once.)
- Give your soup a taste and add more salt and pepper if necessary.
- If you prefer a slightly thinner consistency, return your pureed soup to the pot and stir in some extra vegetable broth.
- Sprinkle the parsley and pumpkin seeds over your soup, serve, and enjoy!
Recipe Notes
You may have noticed a high amount of sodium on the nutrition label. The nutrition label pulls data from the USDA nutrition database which uses a store-bought version of the vegetable broth (which tend to be high in sodium) when it calculates nutrition amounts. I usually try to make my own vegetable broth, which will be much lower in sodium! I’d suggest making your own to lower the sodium in this recipe or finding a “low-sodium” broth in store to use.
