Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 1/2 cups chopped carrots
- 1/2 cup chopped white onion
- Garlic clove, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon orange juice
- 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 1/2 cups vegetable broth
- 1/4 teaspoon salt, or more/less to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
Instructions
- First, heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Then, add the onion and carrots and cook until softened, about 8-10 minutes, stirring often. Stir in the garlic and remove from heat.
- Next, add the slightly cooled carrots, ginger, orange juice, turmeric, vegetable broth, salt and freshly ground pepper to a blender and puree until creamy and smooth.
- Finally, serve! I garnished this with an extra drizzle of good olive oil and freshly ground pepper.
Notes
*I let the ingredients cool slightly before putting in the blender so the steam doesn't make the top come off!
