Carrot soup with ginger and turmeric
Background
It’s now possible to get fresh turmeric in the major supermarkets, so I can make super-healthy drinks, stews and soups. I made this carrot soup with ginger and turmeric using fresh turmeric roots the first time - the result was a lovely, earthy, spiced soup which is perfect to strengthen our immune system! You can add some chilli if you like.
Ingredients
- 500g carrots
- 1 onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 inch piece of fresh ginger
- 1 inch piece of fresh turmeric ( or 2 tsp ground turmeric)
- 1 bay leaf
- 750 ml vegetable stock
- 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
- To serve:
- 4 spring onions, thinly sliced
- Chopped parsley
Instructions
- Roughly chop the carrots & onion. Peel the garlic, ginger & turmeric, then chop finely.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for 5 minutes, then add the bay leaf, ginger, turmeric and garlic. Cook for another five minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the carrot, turn down the heat and put a lid on. Let the carrots soften for about 8 minutes, then pour over the stock.
- Bring to the boil, then simmer for 15 minutes over low heat until the carrots are tender. Remove the bay leaf and, using a stick blender, whiz until you get a smooth, silky soup. If it’s too thick, add more stock and reheat.
- Stir in the apple cider vinegar, then serve the soup, garnished with chopped parsley and spring onion slices.
