Ingredients

• 900 grams carrots
• 1 large onion
• 3 whole garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1.2 liters vegetable stock
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 60 milliliters heavy cream (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and chop the carrots into uniform slices. Finely chop the onion and garlic. Grate the fresh ginger.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, sautéing until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the ground cumin, ground coriander, and grated ginger. Cook for 1 additional minute to toast the spices.

Step 4

Add the carrots to the pot and stir to coat with the spices and onions.

Step 5

Pour in the vegetable stock and bring the mixture to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes, or until the carrots are tender.

Step 6

Use an immersion blender to purée the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender and purée, then return it to the pot.

Step 7

Season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste. If using heavy cream for added richness, stir it in at this stage.

Step 8

Reheat gently if needed, ensuring the soup does not boil once the cream is added.

Step 9

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve warm with crusty bread or crackers.
