carrot ginger soup recipe | carrot and ginger soup | ginger carrot soup with detailed photo and video recipe. a flavoured and creamy soup recipe made with fresh carrots and a hint of ginger. it is an ideal starter or an appetiser recipe which is ideally served just before the meal. it can be served as it is without any sides, but tastes great when served with toasted bread.
i have posted the traditional carrot soup recipe long back, but this recipe is an extension to it. the addition part of this recipe is the ginger flavour i have added on to of carrot puree. with respect to the additional ingredient, ginger is the only extra, but it makes a lot of difference to the taste and flavour. when ginger is mixed with carrot it ends up with a unique taste to it. moreover, the traditional carrot and ginger soup do have other ingredients like cream, sour cream and an optional cider to it. while it tastes good when these ingredients are added, but i intentionally avoided it as it may not suit the indin taste bud. but it is completely optional and can be added if you like so.
furthermore, some more tips, suggestions and variations for a perfect and creamy carrot ginger soup recipe. firstly, i would heavily recommend using fresh and juicy orange carrots for a bright coloured soup. yet you can make it with indian red coloured carrots, typically used to make gajar halwa. secondly, consistency is a key factor for the perfect soup recipe. it should not be thin or thick and it has to be in between. the consistency has to be medium. lastly, the soup has to be served hot and you may have to reheat or microwave once it is rested. also, you may have to add some water to bring it to the correct consistency.
