I am sharing an easy carrot ginger soup recipe with you today. As the weather cools, I enjoy making a large pot of soup allowing it to simmer on the stove throughout the day gently. There’s nothing quite like the fragrance of herbs infusing the broth and filling your home with savory goodness.
In the past, I eagerly anticipated soup season and sharing the extra servings with family. However, since we moved miles away, I’ve started storing the surplus in individual portions in the freezer for later.
Incorporating butternut squash into carrot soup contributes to a velvety, creamy texture that cannot be achieved with carrots alone. In addition, this flavorful soup is entirely dairy-free!
Here are the ingredients you’ll need:

Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil

- 1 tbsp chopped sage (fresh)
- 1 tsp grated ginger
- salt and pepper to taste
- 4 cups chicken broth
Instructions

- Add the onion, carrot and squash. Sautee for approximentaly ten minutes, stirring continuously.
- Incorporate the herbs, garlic, salt and pepper.
- Add the broth. Cover with a lid and let simmer on low for an hour.

Notes
Enjoy! I prefer to serve the soup with toasted pepitas. But, you can also experiment with a sprinkle of nutmeg or cinnamon for added flavor.
