Instructions:
Method:
- Heat the oil: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add chopped onions and cook until translucent (about 3-4 minutes). If using garlic, add it in and sauté for another minute.
- Add carrots and ginger: Stir in the chopped carrots and grated ginger, allowing them to sauté for 5 minutes to release flavors.
- Add the water, ensuring the carrots are fully submerged. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the carrots are soft.
- Blend until smooth: Use a blender or transfer the soup to a blender in batches to purée it until smooth.
- Serve: Garnish with fresh herbs like cilantro if desired. Serve warm.
