Ingredients
2 tablespoons avocado oil
1 medium yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated
2 pounds carrots, peeled and chopped into chunks
4 cups vegetable broth (low-sodium)
Instructions
Heat the avocado oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
Add the chopped carrots and the vegetable broth to the pot.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes or until the carrots are fork-tender.
Remove from the heat and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth and creamy.
Serve warm, optionally garnished with fresh herbs.
Notes
The soup tastes even better the next day after the flavors have melded. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months. If the soup is too thick, stir in a little extra broth until you reach your desired consistency.
