Cranberry Carrot Soup With Ginger Food

CARROT GINGER SOUP

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, ginger, and garlic; saute until softened, 15 to 20 minutes. Add broth, carrots, and wine. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, uncovered, until carrots are tender, about 45 minutes.
• Puree with an immersion blender until carrots are no longer chunky and soup has a thick consistency. Add lemon juice, salt, pepper, and curry powder. Serve in large mugs with chives and fresh black pepper.

CARROTS AND CRANBERRIES

Steps:

• Put carrots and cranberries into a microwave-safe dish. Mix chicken broth, butter, and brown sugar together in a bowl; drizzle over the carrot mixture and stir to coat.
• Cook in microwave on High for 4 minutes.
• Continue cooking in microwave until carrots are tender, about 8 minutes more; cool at room temperature for 5 minutes and sprinkle with cinnamon.

GINGER CARROT SOUP

Steps:

• In a 6-quart pan, over medium high heat, add butter and onions and cook, stirring often, until onions are limp. Add broth, carrots, and ginger. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until carrots are tender when pierced.
• Remove from heat and transfer to a blender. Don't fill the blender more than half way, do it in batches if you have to. Cover the blender and then hold a kitchen towel over the top of the blender*. Be careful when blending hot liquids as the mixture can spurt out of the blender. Pulse the blender to start it and then puree until smooth. Return to the pan and add cream, stir over high heat until hot. For a smoother flavor bring soup to a boil, add salt and pepper, to taste.
• Ladle into bowls and garnish with dollop sour cream and parsley sprigs.

CARROT SOUP WITH GINGER AND LEMON

Steps:

• Melt butter in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion; sauté 4 minutes. Add ginger and garlic; sauté 2 minutes. Add chopped carrots, tomatoes and lemon peel; sauté 1 minute. Add 3 cups stock and bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover partially and simmer until carrots are very tender, about 20 minutes. Cool slightly.
• Puree soup in batches in blender. Return soup to pot. Mix in lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.)
• Bring soup to simmer, thinning with more stock, if desired. Ladle into bowls. Top each with sour cream and grated carrot.

CRANBERRY CARROT SOUP

Steps:

• Peel and grate the carrots. Place them in a three to four quart saucepan with the cranberries and water. Simmer 20 minutes, until the cranberries and carrots are very tender.
• Strain the mixture, reserving the liquid. Transfer the carrots and cranberries to a food processor and puree them. Return the carrots and cranberries to the saucepan, along with the reserved cooking liquid. Add the sugar, salt, nutmeg, lemon juice and pepper. Bring to a simmer.
• Serve the soup hot, with a dollop of sour cream as a garnish on each portion.

BEST EVER CREAMY CARROT GINGER SOUP

Steps:

• Put a large pot over medium heat and add the olive oil.
• Throw the carrots, onions and garlic into the pot and let them cook a bit, just until the onions start to become a little soft.
• Grate some ginger over the pot as the vegetables are heating up and stir that in too.
• Once the mixture starts to become fragrant (you'll smell that ginger as it heats up), add a few pinches of salt and pepper and pour in enough stock to almost cover the vegetables (should be between 4 and 5 cups of stock).
• Let this cook over medium-low heat until you can poke a fork in one of the carrot pieces and it falls apart.
• Remove it from the heat and puree while it's hot. This will help give you a nice smooth texture. Using an immersion blender is the easiest method, as you can leave the soup in the pot. If you'd rather use a regular blender you'll probably have to puree in batches.
• Once the soup is pureed and you can't see any more chunks, add the can of coconut milk (or milk/cream of your choice).
• Using the immersion blender again, blend the coconut milk into the soup. Using the blender again at this stage helps the texture to become very velvety. Add more salt and pepper, to your taste.
• Ladle the soup into bowls and serve with a dollop of sour cream, Greek yogurt, coconut yogurt or a swirl of cream (or coconut cream), and a sprinkle of chopped parsley (if you wish).

CRANBERRY-CARROT SOUP WITH GINGER

Steps:

• Peel and grate the carrots. Put them in a three- to four-quart saucepan with the cranberries and water. Simmer 20 minutes, until the cranberries and carrots are very tender.
• Strain the mixture, reserving the liquid. Transfer the carrots and cranberries to a food processor and puree. Return the carrots and cranberries to the saucepan along with the reserved cooking liquid. Add the sugar, ginger, salt, nutmeg, lemon juice and pepper to taste. Bring to a simmer.
• Serve the soup hot, with a dollop of sour cream as a garnish on each portion.
