Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Chop the onion finely.
- Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
- Grate the ginger root.
- Peel, core, and dice the apple into small pieces.
- Peel and chop the carrots into medium-sized chunks.
- In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
- Add the diced apple and chopped carrots to the pot, stirring to combine with the aromatics.
- Pour in the vegetable broth, ensuring that the vegetables are fully submerged.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook until the carrots are tender, about 20-25 minutes.
- Once the carrots are tender, stir in the ground nutmeg, salt, and a dash of black pepper.
- Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blend until smooth, then return it to the pot.
- If the soup is too thick, you can add a little more vegetable broth or water to reach your desired consistency. Heat through if additional liquid was added.
- Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
- Drizzle with 1 teaspoon of olive oil just before serving to enhance the flavor.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and enjoy it warm. This soup pairs wonderfully with crusty bread or a light salad.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients.: Ensure that the carrots, apples, ginger, and other ingredients are fresh for the best flavor.
- Adjust seasoning to taste.: Feel free to adjust the amount of salt, black pepper, and nutmeg to match your personal preference.
- Blend until smooth.: For a creamy texture, blend the soup until it is completely smooth. If you prefer a chunkier soup, you can blend less.
- Garnish before serving.: For added flavor and presentation, garnish with fresh herbs such as parsley or a dollop of yogurt.
- Use a good vegetable broth.: The quality of the vegetable broth can significantly impact the overall taste of the soup. Opt for a high-quality broth or make your own at home.
