A warm bowl of carrot ginger soup on a cool, fall day is my favorite way to embrace the season. Both nourishing and tasty, this is the ultimate comfort soup recipe.
As much as I love blending fresh fruits and veggies into a refreshing glass of goodness… a warm bowl of soup soothes the soul like nothing else! So, I wanna share this carrot soup recipe I looooooooove. And yep—it’s from my amazing, plant based, Fresh Start 21 day cleanse.
Plant-based carrot soup recipe
There are 5 cleanse-worthy ingredients in this soup: ginger, carrots, garlic, lemon, and coconut oil. These plant-powered ingredients help your body detox out anything that’s slowing you down from living your best life ever!
That’s right, this carrot ginger soup is 100% dairy free, yet super creamy. It’s loaded with fresh veggies and healthy fats to provide the perfect balance of nutrition. How does this carrot soup stand up to traditional, dairy-filled versions, you ask? With this #rawkstar ingredient list:
- yellow onion– According to a study by the US Library of health, onions are full of antioxidants and great cancer fighters.
- fresh ginger– this root vegetable contains powerful anti-inflammatory properties that help with osteoarthritis, according to a study by the National Library of Medicine.
- fresh garlic– another great vegetable with antioxidants that can fight cancer, as well as prevent DNA damage from hypertension.
- carrots– full of beta carotene, which our bodies turn into vitamin A, carrots really are good for our eyes!
- full fat coconut milk– I always use coconut milk with full fat, as this fat helps break down the carbs from other veggies in this carrot soup, as well as contains MCTs that help with weight control.
Pro tip: I like using orange carrots to produce the vibrant color in this soup, yet any carrot variety will work.
Festive fall dinner with carrot soup
Fall is often a time where family gatherings are more prevalent. I love sharing this carrot ginger soup with family and friends, as it’s mild, delicious flavor is always a crowd pleaser. Yet, if you’re looking for a whole fall feast, look no further:
Kale autumn salad
While I’ve created this recipe for a quick on-the-go lunch, it is the perfect start to a fall meal. The pomegranate brings a brightness to the kale, and while the sliced almonds provide the perfect amount of crunch.
Roasted Brussels sprouts
Hands down my fav fall recipe to bring to a party. Perfectly roasted Brussels sprouts are complimented by toasted walnuts and a touch of maple syrup.
Sweet potato nachos
If you’re looking to make this carrot ginger soup recipe your main course, adding in some sweet potato nachos creates the perfect crunchy pairing. This is a recipe from my book, Simple Green Meals, and is such a fun party feature.
No guilt rice krispie treats
I say this is a great kid friendly dessert, yet I love to indulge in these too! It’s my fun, healthier take on a traditional sweet treat.
Almond butter and jam muffins
If a breaded dessert is more your style, these stuffed muffins are for you. I love the fresh sweetness of the strawberry filling when I take a bite out of these.
