Ingredients

• 6 medium carrots
• 1 large yellow onion
• 3 cloves garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 inch piece fresh ginger
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Peel and roughly chop the carrots into small pieces. Set aside.

Step 2

Peel and finely dice the onion and garlic. Grate the fresh ginger.

Step 3

In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes or until softened and translucent.

Step 4

Add the garlic, grated ginger, ground cumin, and ground coriander to the pot. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the chopped carrots to the pot and stir to coat them in the butter and spices.

Step 6

Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes, or until the carrots are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 7

Remove the pot from heat and allow the soup to cool slightly. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. (Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender and blend until smooth.)

Step 8

Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste if necessary.

Step 9

Reheat the soup gently over low heat if needed. Serve warm, garnished with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley.
