    The flavor and crunch of fresh carrots are a wonder of nature. Just give me a little ranch dressing for dipping and I am in veggie heaven.

    However, I am slightly less enthusiastic about cooked carrots. So, the first time I tasted creamy carrot soup, I was skeptical. But I was wrong! When you combine that slightly sweet fresh carrot flavor with fresh ginger, you get one delicious bowl of soup!!

    One of the best things about this great recipe is that it's filled with healthy carrots. The healthy and yummy combination of carrot with fresh ginger will quickly become a family favorite meal. The perfect dish to come home to after a long day!

    📃Shopping list

    all ingredients for carrot ginger soup with labels

    To make this vegan carrot ginger soup recipe you will need these simple ingredients:

    • Carrots (of course!)
    • Yellow onions - diced
    • Orange or yellow peppers - diced
    • Garlic - minced
    • Ginger - fresh grated
    • Vegetable stock
    • Coconut milk - full fat
    • Salt & black pepper - to taste
    • Parsley - for garnish
    • More coconut milk for decor (optional)

    🍲How to make this great soup

    Start this delicious soup by spaying your slow cooker with a non-stick cooking spray. Although this is less important with soup than other dishes, I still find it helpful with clean up.

    My lazy self likes to use baby carrots for this recipe since they involve less prep. However, larger carrots are awesome and sometimes more flavorful. They should be cleaned, peeled, and cut into 1" coins.

    Add all prepped ingredients, other than coconut milk, to your greased slow cooker. Cover and cook on low heat. Once all veggies are soft and cooked through, use an immersion blender to fully blend. 15 - 30 minutes prior to serving, add in your full-fat coconut milk and stir to combine.

    🍽Serving suggestions

    Crock pot carrot soup is a great idea any time of year. It doesn't have to be soup season to enjoy this slow cooker wonder! On warm days it is perfect paired with a crusty loaf of bread and a crisp salad.

    On cold days, is especially delicious served alongside a veggie lasagna or cheesy eggplant bake. It also makes a great appetizer for a protein-based meal such as whole chicken or turkey breast.

    This slow cooker recipe is amazing served with a dollop of sour cream or plain yogurt on top.

    Storing leftovers

    Leftovers of this easy homemade soup recipe can be stored in an airtight container or zip top bag. It will last 3-4 days in the refrigerator.

    Store in freezer-friendly containers and it will stay good once frozen for several months. I love to store this simple soup in meal-sized portions for easy reheat-and-eat on-the-go meals.

    🔄Substitutions

    1. If you prefer not to use coconut and aren't concerned with keeping the soup vegan, replace coconut with heavy cream
    2. Freshly grated ginger makes a real difference in this recipe. If can't get a fresh ginger root and grate it yourself, I recommend jarred grated ginger (not powder)
    3. Chicken broth works well in place of veggie broth if you aren't concerned with making vegetarian soup.
    4. If you don't have a yellow or orange bell pepper, sweet potatoes make a great substitute. You can dice about ½ of a sweet potato in place of the pepper.

    😉Hints & hacks

    1. If you don't have an immersion blender, you can use a countertop blender or food processor. Be sure to use extreme caution transferring hot liquids.
    2. Onions, can also be purchased pre-cut to make this dish even easier to prepare.
    3. This slow cooker carrot soup recipe is perfect for days when your people will be eating at different times. After the cooking time, turn your slow cooker to the warm setting. Everyone can have a warm and filling dish, no matter what time they are ready to eat.
    4. In the market for a new slow cooker? I love mine!.
    5. Although I am generally a big fan of slow cooker liners, I would not recommend using them for a recipe involving an immersion blender.
