Creamy Roasted Carrot Soup with Ginger and Miso

Creamy Roasted Carrot Ginger Soup

• Carrots: You need a lot of carrots for this recipe, and you’ll need to peel them. I like to use plain orange carrots, but feel free to use any color. The color carrots you use will, of course, change the color of the soup.
• Spices: To season this soup, I used a combination of yellow onion, fermented garlic, fresh ginger, ground coriander, ground cumin, ground turmeric, and miso.
• Coconut Cream: This adds nice thick creaminess to the soup while keeping it dairy-free.
• Broth: you can use vegetable broth, chicken broth or beef broth for a heartier flavor.

My Roasted Carrot Soup Recipe

My roasted carrot soup recipe has two main parts:

Part One: Roast the vegetables. This step is super simple. Just peel and chop the carrots, onion, and garlic. Then drizzle everything with a bit of olive oil and roast at 400 degrees for 45 minutes, tossing everything halfway through.

Part Two: Cook the roasted vegetables with the broth and other ingredients, then blend until smooth. There are two options to do this. 1. You can add all the vegetables, and the remaining soup ingredients to the instant pot and blend with a handheld immersion blender. OR 2. you can add all the vegetables and vegetable broth to a blender, blend until smooth. Then transfer the mixture to the instant pot, and combine the remaining ingredients.

Roasted Carrot Ginger Soup

This recipe is so easy, there’s not much you can do to mess things up. My main suggestion for making the recipe perfectly is to focus on the blending step. I have a Vitamix blender, and I blended the soup in two batches. If you have a handheld immersion blender, that’s wonderful and will make the blending step very easy.

To cook this soup in an instant pot: set the instant pot on to cook on high for three to five minutes, let it depressurize naturally for 10 minutes, then release the remaining pressure.
