Creamy Coconut Carrot Ginger Soup {Vegan}

5/10/22

Jump to Recipe Pin Recipe

This vegan Creamy Coconut Carrot Ginger Soup is so flavourful! You'll love it topped with easy homemade croutons or crispy chickpeas.

Ingredients and substitutions

  • Olive oil – any other neutral cooking oil like canola or grapeseed oil would work here.
  • Carrots – carrots are the star of this recipe but you can also try making parsnip soup.
  • Yellow onion – white onion or shallots are the best substitute.
  • Garlic – I prefer fresh garlic cloves, but jarred minced garlic will work in a pinch.
  • Ginger root – fresh ginger root provides the best flavour. If you don’t have any ginger root, try using ¼ tsp. of ground ginger instead.
  • Coconut milk – you can try using soy or almond milk, just keep in mind the soup won’t be as creamy and will have a different flavour.
  • Vegetable broth ­– chicken broth would be the best substitute here.
  • Red curry paste – leave this out altogether if you don’t have any on hand.
  • Lemon juice – freshly squeezed or bottled lemon juice or even lime juice is best.
  • Salt & pepper – to taste.

  • Small baguette – you can try using another type of crusty bread cut into one-inch pieces.
  • Olive oil – try using another neutral cooking oil like avocado oil.
  • Minced garlic – fresh minced garlic is best but the jarred variety will also work.
  • Fresh parsley – leave this off if you don’t have any on hand or try using a bit of dried basil instead.Salt & pepper – to taste.
Ingredients: Olive oil, coconut milk, salt and pepper, garlic, red curry paste, ginger, onion, lime, carrots, and broth.

What to serve with carrot soup

This carrot soup is super tasty on its own, but if you’re looking for delicious side dish options, there are plenty to choose from! Serve your soup with a nice side salad or with a yummy sandwich like a Green Goddess Grilled Cheese Sandwich for the ultimate lunch combo.

Here are some more of my favourite options:

  • Homemade croutons (see instructions in the recipe card)
  • Crusty baguette or garlic bread
  • Macaroni and cheese
  • Meatballs
  • Flatbread (like this roasted vegetable flatbread or steak gorgonzola flatbread)

Frequently Asked Questions

Is carrot soup good for you?

Yes! Carrot soup is delicious and nutritious. Carrots are packed full of yummy nutrients like fibre, vitamin A, calcium and beta-carotene. And since you’re making the soup yourself instead of buying a canned version, it’s made with whole ingredients without any preservatives.

Do you need to peel the carrots?

You don’t need to peel the carrots for this recipe – just give them a good wash to remove any dirt then chop them up into one-inch pieces.

How long does this soup last?

This soup will last in the fridge for up to 5 days, which makes it a great option for meal prep. Make a big batch on the weekend and store half in the fridge for lunches throughout the week and freeze the other half!

How many calories are in this recipe?

There are 374 calories in one bowl of this delicious soup. It’s a great option for a healthy lunch!

Storing and reheating

This soup will last in the fridge for up to 5 days. I like to make it on the weekends and then enjoy it for lunch throughout the week! Store it in individual serving sizes in airtight glass containers or even mason jars.

When you’re ready to enjoy, all you have to do is dump it in a pot on the stovetop and bring it to a simmer over low to medium heat. You can also stick it in the microwave for 1-2 minutes.

Freezing carrot soup

Like most soups, this carrot soup will freeze beautifully. Once it’s cooled down to room temperature, transfer it to airtight glass containers or freezer-safe Ziploc bags and freeze for up to 6 months. If you’re freezing your soup in a Ziploc bag, make sure to leave some room at the top, as the soup will expand as it freezes.

Reheating the soup is super easy. Let it defrost in the fridge overnight then reheat in a pan on the stovetop over low heat or reheat in the microwave for 2-3 minutes, stirring halfway through.

  • An Immersion blender is a cheaper way to blend things up.
  • Freeze this recipe in glass microwave-safe bowls for up to 3 months.
