🛒 Ingredients:
- 4 medium carrots (peeled and chopped)
- 1 small onion (chopped)
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger (grated or finely chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tbsp olive oil or coconut oil
- 2 cups vegetable broth (low sodium)
- 1 cup water (adjust for consistency)
- ½ tsp ground turmeric (optional for extra anti-inflammatory benefits)
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Fresh lemon juice (optional, to finish)
👩🍳 Instructions:
- Sauté Aromatics
Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, and ginger. Sauté for about 3–4 minutes until fragrant and the onion softens. - Add Carrots & Spices
Add chopped carrots and ground turmeric (if using). Stir well to coat the veggies with the oil and spices. - Simmer Until Tender
Pour in the vegetable broth and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for 20–25 minutes or until the carrots are fork-tender. - Blend Until Smooth
Use an immersion blender directly in the pot or transfer the mixture in batches to a countertop blender. Blend until silky smooth. - Season & Brighten
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for brightness, if desired. - Serve Warm
Pour into bowls. Optionally drizzle with coconut cream or sprinkle with chopped parsley or pumpkin seeds for extra nutrients.
💡 Tips & Notes:
- Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
- Make It Creamier: Stir in a few tablespoons of coconut milk before serving for added richness and healthy fats.
- Ginger Tip: Use fresh ginger for maximum anti-inflammatory benefits. Powdered ginger is acceptable in a pinch (use ½ tsp).
- Skin Boost: Beta-carotene converts into vitamin A, essential for repairing skin tissue and reducing dryness or dull tone.
