Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Peel and slice the carrots into thin rounds.
- Peel and finely slice the onions.
- Peel and grate the ginger.
- In a large pot, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onions and grated ginger. Sauté until the onions are translucent and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the sliced carrots to the pot, stirring to coat them well with the onions and ginger. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes.
- Pour the chicken gravy or broth into the pot with the vegetables. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
- Bring the soup to a boil over medium-high heat. Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 20-30 minutes, or until the carrots are tender.
- Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if necessary. Add salt and pepper to your liking. If you prefer a more intense ginger flavor, you can add a bit more grated ginger at this stage.
- For a smoother consistency, you can use an immersion blender to partially or fully blend the soup until it reaches your desired texture. Alternatively, you can blend in batches using a countertop blender. Be cautious with hot liquids when blending.
- Ladle the hot soup into bowls and serve immediately. You can garnish with chopped fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley if desired.
Tips:
- Use fresh ginger for the best flavor. You can grate it finely or chop it into small pieces.
- For a richer flavor, consider using homemade chicken gravy or broth.
- Cut the carrots and onions into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.
- If you prefer a thicker soup, you can puree a portion of the soup and mix it back in.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add a dash of soy sauce or a squeeze of lemon juice for extra zing.
- Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro to add a pop of color and freshness.
