Carrot Ginger Soup

This easy Carrot Ginger Soup is a healthy and nutritious soup recipe, especially for winters. You can serve this appetizer recipe to people of all ages, from toddlers to old age. It is best enjoyed when hot.

This soup tastes delicious even without the addition of coconut milk. You can also add two tablespoons of fresh cream or almond paste instead of coconut milk to this recipe.

I have added Hemp Seeds as one of the toppings, a complete source of protein, providing all nine essential amino acids.

How to make Coconut Milk at home?

Blend ½ cup of shredded coconut (fresh or frozen) with 1 cup of warm water. Strain the coconut milk in a strainer or nut milk bag. Transfer to a sealed container and refrigerate. You can also save pulp for baked goods or add to poriyal, smoothies, or coconut curries.

How to Make Carrot Ginger Soup in Instant Pot?

Firstly, press SAUTE on Instant Pot. Next, add butter and once it’s hot add bay leaf, minced ginger, onions and saute till onions turn translucent.

Then add diced carrot, salt, crushed black pepper, water and give a stir.

Furthermore, close the lid on the pot, and turn the pressure valve to the SEALING position. Set the pot to MANUAL/PRESSURE COOK (High Pressure) and the timer to 5 minutes.

When the instant pot beeps, Let the pressure release naturally. Open the lid.

Remove Bay leaf and puree soup using a immersion blender until smooth. If you don’t have an immersion blender, puree in a blender in batches once slightly cooled. Then I usually sieve the puree and discard the residue but its totally optional.

Lastly, add coconut milk, adjust black pepper powder and salt, and mix well. Let the soup simmer for 2 minutes.
