Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables and Fruits

  • 1 lb carrots, scrubbed and chopped
  • 2 medium apples, cored and chopped
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Spices and Seasonings

  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Liquids

  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Optional: 1/4 cup heavy cream or coconut milk for added creaminess

Instructions

  1. Sauté Onion and Garlic: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onions and minced garlic, cooking and stirring until they become soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add Carrots and Apples: Stir in the chopped carrots and apples, cooking for an additional 5 minutes while occasionally stirring to combine flavors.
  3. Add Spices: Sprinkle in cinnamon, nutmeg, ground ginger, and cumin, mixing well to evenly coat the vegetables and fruit with the spices.
  4. Simmer Soup: Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook uncovered for 20 to 25 minutes until the carrots are tender.
  5. Puree the Soup: Remove the pot from heat and let it cool slightly. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth, or carefully transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blend until creamy.
  6. Add Creaminess and Season: If desired, stir in heavy cream or coconut milk to add richness. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Reheat and Serve: Warm the soup again if needed, then serve hot for a comforting dish.

Notes

  • For a vegan version, use coconut milk instead of heavy cream.
  • Adjust spices according to personal preference for warmth or sweetness.
  • The soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
  • Serve with crusty bread or a dollop of yogurt for extra texture.
