I love soups and though there could be nothing better than a bowl of comforting warm soup on a cold night, I enjoy them during summers too. Especially, if it's a light creamy soup, like this Ginger carrot soup.
Ginger is one of my favorite spices. I can't imagine cooking my favorite Indian dishes without ginger and garlic. But I also use it in many other non-Indian recipes.
Even if you don't like plain carrot soup, do try this ginger carrot soup recipe. The addition of ginger to a simple carrot soup takes it to another level. It's a very soothing and comforting soup that you can enjoy in every season.

Recipe tips and tricks
- Use fresh, tender, and sweet variety of carrots in the soup.
- Make small pieces of carrots so that it gets cooked faster.
- Sauté the carrot for a few minutes before adding the water. It will become more flavorful.
- If you don't like the taste of coconut milk, use un-sweetened soy milk or any other plant-based milk. If you are not vegan, cooking cream can also be added.
- Instead of using vegetable bouillon cube and water, vegetable broth can also be used.
- For a nice texture, add caramelized onions, coconut flakes, or peeled pumpkin seeds to the soup.
What to serve with this soup?
You can serve this soup with your favorite sandwich or toast like this vegan avocado toast.
During summers or for lunch you can also serve it with a fresh crisp salad like Fattoush or Greek potato salad.

And, if you are not a vegan then just serve with some crispy garlic cheese bread on the side.
