Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Chop the onion.
- Mince the garlic cloves.
- Grate the ginger root.
- Peel and dice the sweet potatoes.
- Peel and slice the carrots.
- In a large pot, heat the cooking spray oil over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onions and sauté for about 5 minutes until they become soft and translucent.
- Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and ground cumin. Stir for about 1 minute, allowing the spices to release their aroma.
- Add the diced sweet potatoes and sliced carrots to the pot. Stir to combine the vegetables with the spices.
- Pour in the chicken broth, ensuring that all the vegetables are submerged.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover the pot and let it cook for about 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and can be easily pierced with a fork.
- Once the vegetables are cooked, remove the pot from heat. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can use a regular blender, blending the soup in batches.
- Stir in the Greek yogurt until fully incorporated. This will add a creamy texture to the soup.
- Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with a dollop of Greek yogurt or fresh herbs if desired.
- Serve the carrot and ginger soup hot, accompanied by a slice of crusty bread or a side salad for a complete meal.
Tips:
- Chop all vegetables uniformly to ensure even cooking.
- Use fresh ginger for a more vibrant and aromatic flavor.
- For a creamier soup, blend the soup thoroughly to achieve a smooth consistency.
- If you prefer a thicker soup, reduce the amount of chicken gravy or let the soup simmer longer to evaporate excess liquid.
- Garnish with a dollop of Greek yogurt and a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for an extra layer of flavor and presentation.
- If you are vegetarian, substitute chicken gravy with vegetable stock.
