Try this recipe for vegan carrot ginger soup. It’s the perfect soup recipe to warm up with on a cool spring, autumn or cold winter day.
Something amazing happened in my kitchen. I mean really… really… amazing. The best part is that it can happen in your kitchen too! If you’re looking for a dairy free soup recipe you’ve come to the the right place. This recipe for carrot ginger soup is easy enough for the novice cook but, still fancy enough for the person that knows their way around the kitchen. It’s the kind of clean eating soup recipe that you don’t have to make a fuss about. Just get the best quality ingredients to start and you won’t be disappointed. It kind of reminds me of the butternut squash bisque. I’m going to have to put that soup back into our meal rotation during the fall months.
Roasted Vegan Carrot Ginger Soup
This carrot ginger soup is gluten free, vegan and is the kind of soup you can feel good about.
There is really minimal prep involved for this soup recipe. It’s a great as a starter or even or mainstay. Use small appetizer bowls if you’re serving as a starter, before dinner or on Thanksgiving day. You can also pair this soup with a green salad and serve it as an entrée.
One of my absolute favorite things to do is cooking tasty homemade meals for my family. My hope is that your family enjoys this soup recipe as much as I loved creating it and we enjoyed eating it. This soup calls for fresh thyme as using fresh herbs are always my first choice. If you have not fresh thyme on hand, feel free to swap out one tablespoon of fresh thyme for one teaspoon of dry.
Tools to Use for Vegan Carrot Ginger Soup
I highly recommend using a high powered food processor or blender to get the carrot ginger soup to perfect creamy consistency. I used a low powered appliance at first, and it just didn’t do the trick. The second time around, I used my Blendtec and what can I say? Pictures are are worth a thousand words.
Now there are lots of carrot ginger soup recipes out there but, what makes this recipe different is that it starts out with roasted carrots. Carrots are naturally sweet. But, to get the natural sweetness to be even more amplified it helps to roast the carrots to start.
To do this, get yourself a good sheet pan. These half sheet pans are my absolute favorite. Now that you have all the tools, let’s get into this delicious soup.

Bradleigh, I seriously had one of those moments where I walked in the store and saw the packaged stuff and thought I can do that at home. What’s great is that it’s so easy to make too.
