Orange Ginger Carrot Soup
Orange and Carrot Soup is a nourishing, bright and cheery recipe guaranteed to give you all the cozy vibes!

Orange and carrot soup has gotten me through this week. I’m feeling a bit (very) under the weather. And I have two sick kids so we’re all feeling kinda cranky and icky.

I had some chicken noodle soup stashed in the freezer and after we blew through that, I needed something warm and nutritious pumping through my veins.

So, I came up with this orange and carrot soup. It has ginger, orange, broth, all things that I can only hope will heal me immediately. I made this huge pot and ate three bowls midday.If nothing else it was a zesty mood booster.

Orange Ginger Carrot Soup

Orange and Carrot Soup is…

Everything I had hoped it would be and more. My main goal in making this soup was to have carrot and ginger in it, but it kind of… evolved. At first there was some orange thrown in, then some pear.

I thought about adding some spice as well but I didn’t want anyone to go into shock with the number of flavors happening here. Plus, my nose is a bit stuffed (aka, I can’t breathe at all) so I didn’t trust myself to properly gauge an appropriate amount of chili powder. Maybe next time 😉

I loved using the pear to sweeten it a bit and the orange adds such a nice, refreshing twang (word?!). I munched on some extra orange wedges while I made this soup and I felt an immediate, fleeting moment of health.

Ingredients for Orange and Carrot Soup

  • refined coconut oil
  • garlic
  • onion
  • salt and pepper
  • carrots
  • vegetable stock
  • water
  • an orange
  • a pear
  • fresh ginger
Orange Ginger Carrot Soup

How to Make Orange and Carrot Soup

In a large pot, over medium heat, place the coconut oil, garlic, onion, salt and pepper.

Cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently until the onions are softened and lightly browned. 

Zest the orange in a small bowl and set the zest aside.

Peel the orange and coarsely cut it into pieces, making sure there are no seeds.

Add cut up orange, pear, and ginger to the pot. Cook on high for another 5 – 10 minutes, until the carrots are easily pierced with a fork.

Pour the contents into a blender. If you’re using a food processor, you may need to do this step in increments. Blend until smooth. Keep warm on the stove top until you’re ready to serve.

Place the soup in bowls and top with crunchy chickpeas, some mint, a drizzle of coconut cream, and a lime wedge.

How to Store Leftovers

Leftovers can be kept in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop until heated through.

You can also freeze this soup in an airtight container for up to three months. Defrost in the fridge overnight and reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop until heated through.
