That Depth Of Flavor
Why carrot apple ginger soup, you may ask Sometimes when people mention carrot soup, you instantly get that image of a bland looking dish. Then your brain decides that because of this, then it also tastes boring. How wrong these people are! Soup is easy to make and is healthy thanks to the fresh veg ingredients.
Carrot soup is a dish that works the entire year – you can warm yourself with it in winter or eat it cold as a refreshing, light meal in summer. The ginger gives it a bit of a zing while the apple adds a sweet, fruity touch. You can serve it with a dash of cream or coconut milk as well as croutons or crackers, depending on how hungry you are. 😉
Delicious, no matter whether served warm or cold!
Ingredients
(enough for 3-4 people)
- 1 kg fresh carrots
- 1.5 l instant vegetable broth
- 2-3 shallots
- 1 apple
- a bit of fresh ginger (I use a piece about the size of my thumb. If you like spicy food, add more ginger.)
- olive oil, salt, pepper, ground nutmeg
How to Make It
- Peel the carrots and cut them into even pieces.
- Prepare 1.5 l of instant vegetable broth according to instructions.
- Peel the shallots and dice them.
- Heat up 3-4 tablespoons of olive oil in a pot and fry the shallots until they are golden brown.
- Add the vegetable broth and bring it all to a boil.
- Add the carrot pieces and boil them until they are done (this should take about 10-15 minutes).
- While the carrot pieces are cooking, wash, peel, and dice the apple. Peel the piece of ginger and dice it as well.
- Once the carrot pieces are done, turn off the heat. Add the apple and ginger pieces. Season the soup with salt, pepper, and ground nutmeg, and let it all simmer for 5-10 minutes.
- Take a stick blender and blend everything. You may have to add more broth, depending on how much evaporated during cooking. Taste and adjust the seasoning as you see fit.
- Serve with a bit of cream or coconut milk as well as bread, crackers, or croutons.
